The Phone Number Normalizer work queue calls the registered plugin that implements the IPhoneNumberNormalizer interface. Use the Phone Number work queue to normalize phone numbers after upgrading from earlier versions of PolicyCenter to 8.0.0+.

Guidewire recommends that you use a substantial number of workers with the Phone Number Normalizer work queue. Using a small number of workers to normalize the phone numbers in a large database can take a very long time. The optimal number of workers to use varies according to the available hardware and the volume of the data involved. It is also possible to allocate workers to several different PolicyCenter servers rather then simply increasing the number of workers on a single server.

Disable this work queue after the process completes normalizing all old phone numbers by setting the number of workers in work-queue.xml to 0. You never need run Phone Number Normalizer work queue more than once, after an upgrade to 8.0.0+.
