Modernizing Legacy Systems: MuleSoft API-Driven Integration with Guidewire Cloud

Organization

Our client, a leader in workers’ compensation insurance, provides innovative solutions to businesses of all sizes. Known for their efficient claims management processes and customer-first approach, the company ensures injured workers receive timely care and benefits. Their tailored policies, user-centric billing systems, and agent management platforms empower independent agents to deliver a seamless customer experience.

With annual revenues surpassing $1 billion and consistent year-over-year growth of 5-10%, the company has solidified its position as an industry frontrunner. To sustain its leadership and meet the demands of a digital-first world, the organization adopted advanced technologies like Guidewire, Salesforce, Duck Creek, and MuleSoft.

Challenge

As a long-time user of Guidewire’s on-premise solutions, the company faced a critical juncture when Guidewire transitioned to a cloud-first model. Their existing integration framework was incompatible with the cloud, posing risks of operational disruptions.

To future-proof operations and maintain competitive advantage, the organization needed a robust integration solution capable of bridging legacy systems and Guidewire Cloud. This initiative began with the Claims Center domain and required:

• Seamless Migration: Transitioning to Guidewire Cloud without disrupting claims processing workflows.
• Future Scalability: Creating reusable and extensible integration components to support additional Guidewire domains.
• Cost-Effective Modernization: Avoiding significant rework of legacy systems while adopting a modular integration approach.

The stakes were high, with customer satisfaction and operational continuity hanging in the balance.

Technical Solution

XTIVIA collaborated with the client to design and implement a scalable, future-ready integration framework leveraging MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform. The solution enabled seamless connectivity between legacy systems and Guidewire Cloud, ensuring uninterrupted operations while laying a foundation for future cloud adoption.

Key Solution Highlights

• MuleSoft API Layer: Developed cloud-compatible System APIs using a Facade Architecture pattern, acting as a bridge between on-premise systems and Guidewire Cloud.
• Scalable Integration Framework: Built reusable and extensible APIs to support the Claims Center domain and future Guidewire Cloud domains, reducing overall development efforts.
• Incremental Cloud Adoption: Piloted the integration with the Claims Center domain, refining the implementation process for subsequent phases to minimize disruption.
