Case Study: Farmers Union Insurance achieves faster speed-to-market with Guidewire

Farmers Union Insurance Frees Itself from Legacy Core System

Farmers Union Insurance, a provider of personal insurance for farmers, ranchers, homeowners, and businesses in North Dakota and Arkansas, was challenged by a legacy core system, limited IT resources, and difficulty communicating efficiently with its captive agents. To modernize operations and improve ease of doing business, the company turned to Guidewire and its cloud-based InsuranceNow platform.

Guidewire implemented InsuranceNow with billing, claims, policy, processing, commissions, and general ledger integration, giving Farmers Union real-time data access and a more streamlined customer and agent experience. The rollout went live three months ahead of schedule and under budget, and Guidewire helped Farmers Union improve speed-to-market by 50%–75% while enabling faster changes that once took months or a year to be completed.
