Peace Hills Insurance Announces Implementation of Guidewire Cloud Platform to Drive Innovation and Efficiency

Edmonton, AB (June 24, 2025) – Peace Hills General Insurance Company is proud to announce the implementation of the Guidewire Cloud Platform as part of a transformative effort to modernise its core insurance operations. This strategic decision follows a comprehensive procurement process back in 2022, followed by several years of dedicated planning and development by a team of both internal and external subject matter experts, including integration partners EY Canada, all while maintaining their commitment to personalized service.

Peace Hills Insurance is deploying Guidewire InsuranceSuite, Guidewire ProducerEngage (branded by Peace Hills Insurance as “phiX+”), Guidewire DataHub, and Guidewire InfoCenter on Guidewire Cloud Platform, positioning the company to leverage the most advanced insurance technology available in the market. Another critical component is a customized reinsurance build-out, designed to meet complex reinsurance needs – an integral piece in ensuring a fully functional system that is aligned with business objectives.

The implementation also features over 50 integrations with internal and third-party systems, including five Broker Management System (BMS) vendors and four comparative raters. These integrations will enable seamless connectivity and improved data flow across multiple platforms, fostering greater collaboration and service enhancements for Peace Hills Insurance’s partners and clients.

“We are going live with all integrations, all lines of business in all regions at the same time, which is a significant undertaking,” explained Ken McKnight, VP of Information Technology. “Our team has been laser-focused on ensuring that we are building a system that we could be proud of, and I am confident that we have accomplished this goal.”

“Our priorities always lie with our brokers, our customers, and our people. Replacing our aging custom-build system with a modern platform allows us to improve our business agility and modernize the way we work with all stakeholders,” added Kathy Boychuk, President and CEO. “By implementing the full InsuranceSuite, we are leveraging automated workflows and enhanced operational processes to elevate our service levels.”

This initiative reflects Peace Hills Insurance’s dedication to its vision of being a respected national insurer that provides creative and responsive solutions. With Guidewire Cloud Platform as the foundation of its digital transformation, the company is poised to enhance operational efficiency, optimize workflows, and support greater scalability.
