Integrating PolicyCenter with another billing system

PolicyCenter uses two mechanisms to connect to a billing system application that is not BillingCenter:

Web services for incoming requests

If you use a billing system other than BillingCenter, your implementations of the billing system plugins communicate with your billing system by using a network protocol such as SOAP.

Plugins for outgoing requests

Plugin interfaces define a strict contract between a Guidewire application and additional code that performs a task. PolicyCenter exposes plugin interfaces that the application calls to request or provide information. If you use a billing system other than BillingCenter, you must create your own implementation classes that implement the PolicyCenter billing plugin interfaces.
