This new global specialization is designed to lower customers’ cost of transitioning to the cloud, accelerate implementation timeframes and improve delivery quality and predictability. Guidewire PartnerConnect Consulting Partner and leading business transformation company, Capgemini, has been recognized as the first partner to achieve the Migration Acceleration Specialization.
“All of us at Guidewire are deeply committed to working with our customers to get them to our market-leading SaaS platform and application suite, and we deeply value the criticality of our SI ecosystem in bringing scale and cost effectiveness to that journey,” said John Mullen, President, Chief Revenue Officer, Sales, Guidewire. “The demands and opportunities of speed and innovation are increasing for carriers every day. Guidewire Cloud unlocks an unprecedented balance in speed of change with predictable scale. We are pleased to see the investments Capgemini has made in driving their efforts to help customers get to GWCP (Guidewire Cloud Platform) and drive insurance outcomes.”

To be recognized for achieving the Migration Acceleration Specialization, on the heels of our Guidewire Cloud Upgrade Factory launch, showcases our commitment to partnering with our clients to unlock the full potential of Guidewire Cloud.”
Specializations are both regionally and globally based and require partners to demonstrate skills, knowledge, and competency in a specific Guidewire product or solution, as validated by Guidewire certification achievements and references. This new Migration Acceleration Specialization also extends to services and sales alignment through multiple workshops and documentation. Partners with specializations can better promote their capabilities across Guidewire products and solutions.
