Introduction
Guidewire Connections 2025 has come to a close, and what an extraordinary week it was for our team! As we reflect on three action packed days in Las Vegas, we're energised by the incredible momentum building across the P&C insurance ecosystem.
Celebrating Outstanding Growth
We're thrilled to share that Alchemy received the Outstanding Market Growth Award for EMEA at this year's conference (see press release). This recognition reflects our team's dedication to driving transformation and delivering exceptional value to insurers across the region. It's a testament to the trust our clients place in us and the innovative solutions we're bringing to market.
An Historic Moment: Alchemy Joins NTT DATA on the World Stage
One of our proudest moments was presenting Alchemy as part of NTT DATA to the global insurance community for the first time. This milestone marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, combining Alchemy's deep Guidewire expertise with NTT DATA's global scale and capabilities. The response from customers and partners was overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing our belief that together, we're uniquely positioned to accelerate digital transformation in insurance.
Building Connections That Matter
Our drinks reception was a highlight of the week, a perfect opportunity to connect face-to-face with customers, partners, and industry peers in a relaxed setting. These personal connections are what make Connections special, transforming business relationships into genuine partnerships.
The steady stream of both new and familiar faces at our booth throughout the conference was energising. Each conversation brought fresh perspectives, innovative ideas, and opportunities to explore how we can help insurers navigate their transformation journeys.
Championing Women Leading GenAI Innovation
We were proud to participate in the Women in Insurance Reception: Women Driving GenAI Innovation in Insurance. This inspiring session highlighted how women across our industry are not merely adapting to generative AI but actively shaping its integration into products, processes, and people strategies.
The energy in the room was palpable as leaders, innovators, and GenAI professionals came together to share insights and experiences. It reinforced an important truth: diversity of thought and leadership is essential as we navigate the transformative potential of AI in insurance. The conversations sparked during this reception about breaking barriers, driving innovation, and ensuring inclusive technology adoption are crucial to building the intelligent insurance ecosystem of tomorrow.
The Bigger Picture: An Intelligent Future for P&C
The conference theme of building a more intelligent future for P&C insurance resonated throughout every session. From main-stage announcements about PricingCenter, UnderwritingCenter, and GenAI Services to thoughtful discussions with industry leaders, it's clear that the insurance industry is at an inflection point.
Guidewire's continued expansion of its ecosystem and embracing AI aligns perfectly with our vision at Alchemy. As Bruno Abril, Chairman at Alchemy & Head of Global Insurance at NTT DATA Inc., noted after the conference, “this openness is setting the foundation for insurers to move faster, deliver smarter experiences, and build more resilient, data-driven organisations”.
Looking Ahead
As we return from Las Vegas, we're carrying forward more than just memories of a successful conference. We're bringing:
• Renewed energy to drive innovation in P&C insurance
• Stronger partnerships forged through meaningful connections
• Clear vision of how our combined Alchemy and NTT DATA capabilities can accelerate transformation
• Commitment to helping insurers unlock the full potential of the Guidewire platform
The future of insurance is open, intelligent, and collaborative and we're proud to be at the forefront of shaping it. To everyone who stopped by our booth, joined us for drinks, or engaged in conversations throughout the week, thank you for making Connections 2025 truly special.
Here's to igniting tomorrow, today. Together, we're not just adapting to the future of insurance, we're actively creating it.
