SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – October 31, 2025 – Nearmap, the leader in property intelligence and risk management for insurers, today announced it has been named the Guidewire 2025 Technology Partner of the Year for APAC. The award was presented at Guidewire Connections in Las Vegas, which drew more than 3,000 insurance industry professionals.
The Guidewire PartnerConnect Excellence Awards recognise partners demonstrating outstanding growth, excellence, and impact across the Guidewire global partner ecosystem. The APAC recognition reflects how Nearmap has significantly helped insurers transform their approach to risk assessment and underwriting.
Christina Colby, Chief Customer Officer at Guidewire, said of the 2025 award winners: “We recognise their excellence in driving powerful outcomes and achievements that highlight how cloud, with intelligent capabilities, delivers real, measurable value.”
Cloud-native integration streamlines underwriting workflows
The award announcement coincides with the launch of the Nearmap Accelerator for Betterview Property Intelligence, a cloud-native Extension that integrates Nearmap property intelligence directly into PolicyCenter.
The integration eliminates the need for underwriters to toggle between multiple systems. Property flags from Betterview now surface automatically as underwriting issues within the PolicyCenter risk analysis tab. Property report PDFs upload instantly to policy files and high-resolution aerial imagery is accessible within the underwriter’s existing workflow.
“Insurers don’t have time for fragmented workflows,” said David Tobias, Chief Product Officer at Nearmap. “This cloud-native Accelerator brings our industry-leading property intelligence into the environment underwriters already trust, PolicyCenter, so they can act faster, mitigate risks earlier, and focus on delivering value to policyholders.”
Key benefits include:
- Streamlined workflows: Property intelligence integrated directly into PolicyCenter eliminates system toggling and delays
- Proactive risk management: AI-driven risk signals detect property conditions and changes over time, enabling earlier intervention
- Simplified IT architecture: Cloud-native design eliminates custom integration complexity and ongoing maintenance costs
The Nearmap Accelerator leverages AI-powered property insights and predictive risk data to help underwriters make better-informed decisions before claims occur.
