New features across Policy, Claims, and Billing

Claims

a)?Reducing Claim processing time?– In ClaimCenter Supervisors will now have the ability to preapprove multiple payments which in turn reduces the time taken by adjusters to get approval each time they want to make a payment.

b)?Improving the Loss Ratio for Auto Insurance?– Collision & Subrogation Scoring is a new feature brought in this release. This is a numeric score generated based on various factors like Vehicle age, Loss cause, etc. There will be alerts created for the adjuster based on the score.

c)?Identify suspicious claims directly from ClaimCenter?– This feature is created for Weather Discrepancy alerts. Weather data is collected from third-party sources. The weather data is compared against the loss cause of any claim when the claim is created or updated. In case of discrepancy, an alert is created for the adjuster for further investigation. Guidewire also provides the feature for the adjusters to identify any severe weather events near the location of the claim.

Policy

a)?Migrating from the existing Guidewire platform to the GW Cloud platform?– Elysian brings in the new feature where Advanced Product Designer(APD) can be used to create Cloud API, metadata, and APP events from the existing product in the guidewire platform.
