Guidewire

Guidewire makes software for property and casualty insurers, the companies that write policies for homes, cars, businesses and workers' compensation. Its platform covers policy administration, billing and claims, and the company offers products such as PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, InsuranceNow and the Jutro digital platform, along with analytics and AI tools built on the same foundation. Its customers include more than 570 insurers in dozens of countries.

Guidewire works with insurers rather than individual consumers, so most neighbors will only encounter it indirectly through an insurance company. The business sells through its own sales team and runs a partner ecosystem, professional services and an education program for customers. The company is based in San Mateo, and its listed office is at Park Place in that city.
