Guidewire SaaS as a cloud destination holds several advantages for on-premise Guidewire InsuranceSuite™ or other insurance applications, some of them are as follows:
- Multi-tenant and shared micro-services
- Dedicated API gateway with pre-built Rest-APIs
- Secure access to raw transactional data with low latency
- Future upgradeability – provision to directly upgrade from V8 to Guidewire Cloud
- Cloud operations management – built-in performance and monitoring
- Cheaper based on 3 years of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
