Capgemini is Zurich’s chosen provider for core insurance system transformation

The collaboration between the two companies builds on an earlier successful inception phase in which Capgemini developed an understanding of Zurich’s specific goals and needs. Within less than 24 months, a Capgemini workforce of more than 120 insurance experts, IT architects and digital specialists with a deep expertise in Guidewire solutions, will perform one of the biggest digitalization projects in the German insurance industry. The first rollout is scheduled for 2017 and includes Zurich’s entire private insurance business such as personal liability, home and building insurance.

“The modernization of core systems is a vital necessity for insurance companies to respond to changing insurance needs and defend their relevancy against agile and innovative technology competitors. With this step towards a digitalized business Zurich, will be able to continue to provide competitive services in the German insurance market”, says Detlev Froese, Head of Financial Services at Capgemini in Germany.
