    COVID-19 adversely impacted the Life and Pensions (L&P) insurance industry’s operations and business. Considering that it is a heavily regulated industry, transitioning operations to a virtual environment seemed to be a tall order. Insurers’ continued reliance on legacy systems and outdated technologies made the transition to the pandemic-induced virtual environment even more difficult. At the same time, the pandemic made insurers realize the pressing need for digitalization and innovation, while creating efficiencies across operations. Providers are cognizant of these demand themes and are streamlining their go-to-market strategies and capability assets through their platform, digital, data, analytics, location, and talent capabilities. These providers are tapping into opportunities across the spectrum of L&P insurance, ranging from products such as life, annuities, retirement, and group benefits to geographies such as North America, United Kingdom and Ireland (UKI), Continental Europe, and Asia Pacific. Business-Process-as-a-Service (BPaaS) and Third-party Administrator (TPA) models are being firmed up, and providers are shifting their overall focus from erstwhile arbitrage-based BPO to capture more value-additive share of the demand. Interestingly, it is not only closed blocks that are the center of attention this time; new products, greenfield launches, and active blocks are just as pertinent, as L&P insurers try to capture a young customer base that sees greater value in life insurance and retirement planning due to the pandemic’s jolt. Life and Pensions (L&P) Insurance BPS / TPA Service Provider Compendium 2022 provides accurate, comprehensive, and fact-based snapshots of 12 L&P insurance BPS/TPA providers. The study offers a detailed profile of each L&P insurance BPS/TPA provider – with a comprehensive picture of its services suite, scale of operations, recent developments and investments, technology solutions, and delivery locations – and specifies the provider’s position on the Everest Group PEAK Matrix®.

    The insurance industry is embracing transformation to keep pace with the ongoing digital disruption across global markets and economies. A combination of factors – including changing consumer demography, new demand patterns, new market entrants, profitability concerns, and operational resilience – are urging this dramatic shift. Notably, in making the shift, enterprises are moving away from a siloed approach to an organization-wide digital transformation strategy, as they increasingly realize the short-lived gains of pointed technological interventions. The underlying theme across enterprises’ failed attempts is a disjointed vision that does not support the firm’s overall growth strategy. Insurance firms are increasingly modifying their federated approach to digital transformation to a centralized strategy to ensure successful investments and meet their strategic objectives. In this research, we deconstruct the digital transformation journeys across key insurance industry segments – L&P insurance, P&C insurance, reinsurance, and brokerage – by examining the underlying objectives, operationalization approaches, and requisite investments being made to ensure favorable outcomes. Scope Industry: insurance Geography: global Contents As part of this study, we interviewed leading insurance enterprises across key industry segments – Life and Pensions (L&P), Property and Casualty (P&C), reinsurers, and brokers – to examine: Why insurance enterprises are undertaking digital transformation initiatives, the key drivers for their journeys, and current digital maturity across various industry segments How they are operationalizing these efforts in terms of spearheading, prioritizing, funding, and executing the initiatives What are the resulting target operating models and key investments required to attain the end state Membership(s) Insurance Business Process Sourcing and Vendor Management

    Looming uncertainties accompanying the global pandemic, compounded by fewer claims generated across select LOBs, meant that the Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance BPS market was unable to maintain its double-digit growth streak in 2020. Meanwhile, below-optimal digital adoption in P&C insurance BPS relationships and pandemic-induced digital necessities spurred service providers to proactively find application opportunities for their digital investments. Notably, while investments in digital solutions have gained pace across the board, there still remains a large ground to cover in terms of ramping up the adoption of digital solutions across operations. P&C Insurance BPS – Service Provider Compendium 2021 provides accurate, comprehensive, and fact-based snapshots of 13 P&C insurance service providers.

    COVID-19 significantly disrupted L&P insurers’ manual and paper-based operations and compelled them to transform their operations. With most businesses starting to return to normalcy in 2021, insurers are accelerating their digital transformation to improve operational resiliency, risk management, customer engagement, and financial strength. To achieve various strategic priorities under this call to action, many insurers are also increasingly turning to an outsourcing ecosystem to institute strategic relationships and co-create for innovation. In this research, we provide a comprehensive picture of the key investment trends in the L&P insurance outsourcing market across various dimensions. The analysis is based on Everest Group’s annual RFI process, interactions with leading L&P insurance Business Process Service (BPS) providers, interactions with buyers, and our ongoing coverage of the L&P insurance and services market.

    Insurers deal with a large number of documents in varied formats in their day-to-day operations. The traditional content extraction process has numerous manual touchpoints that make the workstream inefficient owing to frequent human error and associated delays. Moreover, existing targeted technological interventions only go so far because of frequent human reliance for complex, unstructured documents. To add to this, such a content extraction process is difficult to capitalize for wider downstream transformation initiatives. Existing drawbacks of the traditional process need to be overcome to support a changing leadership vision based on building a digital operating model that can deliver on heightened consumer expectations and stay resilient in the future to come. As such, a modernized, AI-powered content extraction system would be a foundational step in building a strong digital core enabled by intelligent solutions that can empower key insurance operations by freeing up previously spent resources on redundant activities. Such a system will facilitate a quicker and accurate information capturing mechanism that would intelligently upgrade the incoming content stream, further aiding end-to-end automation of associated workflows. Scope Industry: insurance Geography: global Contents In this study, we: Describe the traditional content extraction process, its associated pitfalls in terms of existing inefficiencies, and how it acts as a deterrent to further transformation Understand the process of modernized, AI-powered content extraction and the enabling role of intelligent automation Lay down the operationalization of AI-powered content extraction across the insurance value chain to enable downstream efficiencies Membership(s) Insurance Business Process Sourcing and Vendor Management
