Insurance software provider Guidewire has been named a winner of the 2023 ASAP Alliance Excellence Awards by the Association of Alliance Professionals (ASAP).

The company was recognized for its “Innovative Best Alliance Practice” during the awards ceremony, which celebrated outstanding achievements in alliance management.

“We are thrilled to be selected as a 2023 ASAP Alliance Excellence Award winner,” said Lisa Walsh, group vice president of global consulting alliances at Guidewire. “It is an honor to be named ‘Innovative Best Alliance Practice’ and we are proud of our PartnerConnect program, the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry’s leading ecosystem of consultants, industry experts, and solution providers.”

Guidewire’s PartnerConnect program features a network of over 22,000 trained and certified consulting partner staff. These partners offer a wide range of consulting services, including business transformation, strategy and implementation, and related delivery services, Guidewire said.

“The alliance management industry is ever-evolving and constantly developing. ASAP plays a role in stimulating that and ensuring that those new practices get shared among our members,” said Ard-Pieter de Man, professor of knowledge networks and innovation at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and awards selection committee chairman. “Guidewire PartnerConnect ensures that customers have clarity about which consulting partners have which proven capabilities in a certain area. This best practice stands out in terms of the very high customer-centricity of this partner model.”

The ASAP Alliance Excellence Awards recognize advancements in the practice of executing strategic alliances across various industries, including major corporations, mid-sized enterprises, startups, and public-private initiatives.
