Swiss Re Reinsurance Solutions has formed a partnership with Guidewire, a software company focused on the property and casualty (P&C) insurance sector.
The collaboration is aimed at building a “more interconnected insurance industry” using technology.

Swiss Re’s unit and Guidewire hope to streamline operations between risks, customers, reinsurance companies and brokers.
Starting with the integration of the reinsurer’s data models and risk insights into the Guidewire cloud platform, the alliance will offer a range of analytics solutions, integrations and data transfer mechanisms to customers.
Insurance companies are integrating advanced analytics into the claims and underwriting processes and this trend will be accelerated by the adoption of generative artificial intelligence, Guidewire said.
Efficient system interoperability between primary carriers and reinsurers is key for data and knowledge sharing, and risk transfer, it explained.
