InsuranceSuite Platform

Here are the Niseko release highlights for InsuranceSuite Platform. For more details, see the Platform section of the InsuranceSuite Release Notes.

Supported software changes

This release of InsuranceSuite requires the following software updates:
  • This release requires Java 21.
  • Java Enterprise Edition 8 apps must be migrated to Jakarta Enterprise Edition 9.
  • To use Tomcat to run a local server, you must upgrade to Tomcat 10.

Multi-tab support (for Early Access customers only)

The new multi-tab support for InsuranceSuite allows users to increase agility and efficiency by opening and switching between multiple tabs within PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, or BillingCenter. A new tab icon in the header shows how many tabs the user has open in the current session. Users can select that icon to view a list of open tabs and to create a new tab. If users move one of the tabs they're working in to a new window, they can continue to see all the tabs that they have open, across windows, from any open InsuranceSuite instance. The tab details are stored in the user session, so if users close a tab or window, they don't lose it until they log out of their InsuranceSuite application.

Azure Maps Geocoding Plugin

For geocoding, there is a new Azure Maps Geocoding Plugin. Guidewire recommends that you migrate your geocoding usage from Bing Maps to Azure Maps. Microsoft has discontinued Bing Maps for free and basic tiers, and plans to end service for Bing Maps for Enterprise. The Azure Maps Geocoding Plugin supports a subscription-key authentication, similar to the Bing Maps key. If you currently use Bing Maps for Enterprise, you can continue to use it as long as the service remains available.

Preupdate handler

The prioritized preupdate handler feature allows customers to easily develop and manage preupdate business logic using custom classes. With this feature, customers can prioritize execution of preupdate logic across various applications to improve operational efficiency and reduce the risk of conflicts in the order of execution.

AI-powered developer assistants (for Early Access customers only)
