Infosys recognized as a Leader in ISG Provider Lens™ Insurance BPO Services U.S. 2020

Today’s Insurance companies are facing mounting pressures to grow their business, discover new operational efficiencies, respond to changing market dynamics and ever-increasing regulatory mandates, and do more with fewer resources. At the same time, these organizations must provide a pleasant, more modern/digital experience to customers and agents at all touchpoints, from application and onboarding to the claims process and beyond. Insurers also have to optimize their distribution channels and empower agents with the tools and technologies they need to conduct their businesses.
Life and retirement (L&R) and property and casualty (P&C) carriers are increasingly turning to outside service providers to deliver capabilities they need. These providers can help free insurers to devote resources to more strategic activities instead of trying to squeeze out necessary functionality from aging systems.

In this space, Infosys has been recognized as a Leader in the ISG Provider LensTM Insurance BPO Services U.S. 2020 study. This study serves as an important decision-making basis for positioning and go-to-market considerations. In this study, ISG has used a holistic approach to assess insurance BPO that includes strategy and management, front and middle office services, and back office / transaction processing including underwriting, policyholder services and claims processing.
