SAN MATEO, CALIF.--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) announces Kufri release, its latest cloud update, which extends Guidewire HazardHub to 19 additional countries, enhances underwriting and billing processes, facilitates cloud migrations, and streamlines developer experiences.

HazardHub is the most comprehensive set of property risk data and peril risk scoring in the P&C insurance industry. Insurers use HazardHub data to underwrite quickly and more accurately, as well as to improve pricing.

“HazardHub helps Atrium assess and manage risks associated with homeowners and commercial properties in the United States,” said Simon Lewis, Head of Digital Underwriting and ARMS President, Atrium Underwriters Ltd. “We look forward to seeing the expansion of HazardHub's risk data and peril scores because we trust the data and know it will help Atrium to make even more insightful underwriting decisions across the globe.”
