SYDNEY & SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
(Hollard) and (NYSE: GWRE) announce that Hollard, one of Australia’s top five general insurers, has implemented on to power its claims management system, which supports its intention of offering a seamless omnichannel digital experience to brokers and customers.

This is a phenomenal result on a new system, with the teams still learning the full capabilities of ClaimCenter,” said Hollard Chief Operating Officer Paige Vincent. “We have seen the continued benefits in our broker book, with customer experience improving significantly over the last 12 months since launching our first release.
