Introduction

The insurance BPO market has witnessed its highest activity in the last two years. The number of insurance contracts signed in 2011-2012 was more than double the number signed during the peak of the global economic downturn of 2008-2009, which also affected insurance companies severely. As the market expands, insurers are looking at BPO as a key tool to cut costs, improve operations, and manage regulations. Service providers are, in turn, differentiating their offerings through better technology, strong delivery capabilities, and the ability to serve niche segments.
