Guidewire Software has completed the seven-month implementation of a new claims system for CompWest Insurance Company.

BearingPoint, Inc., one of the world’s largest management and technology consulting firms, and Guidewire Software, a provider of solutions to property and casualty and workers' compensation insurers, recently announced that they have completed the seven-month implementation of a new claims system for CompWest Insurance Company, a San Francisco-based provider of workers’ compensation insurance serving the Western United States.

The BearingPoint team, working with Guidewire, leveraged its tested, proprietary delivery framework templates and project accelerators to deliver the ClaimCenter project on time.

BearingPoint implemented Guidewire ClaimCenter, a 100% Web-based claims system, to enable CompWest to better manage costs and drive efficiencies associated with claims handling and processing. The system will allow CompWest to expand adjusting capabilities, maximize operational efficiency, improve overall cost-effectiveness and focus on the care of injured workers.

“We are very happy with the success of the ClaimCenter implementation,” said Mike Knibbs, Director of Information Technology at CompWest. “Our users are very pleased with the new system, and the new capabilities it provides.”
