by Somya Bhadola, Akanksha Sohil

While the L&P insurance industry has traditionally been a laggard in terms of adapting to new market shifts, insurers are now realizing the growing importance of creating a satisfactory customer experience for competitive relevance. This realization, in turn, has significantly changed the nature of demands that the L&P insurers have from their third-party service providers. Buyers and their service providers are now partnering for more expanded reasons beyond securing traditional cost and operational efficiencies such as:

  • Gaining speed-to-market for quick entry into competitive product lines, whether for individual or for group life
  • Digitizing incoming and existing data for enabling digitalized workflows downstream
  • Leveraging innovative distribution channels for creating a favourable customer relationship
  • Enabling synergies from various mergers and acquisitions that would create a consistent customer experience across different units

Consequently, outsourcing conversations have continued to move beyond closed blocks administration to active blocks, new product launch, and new market entry support. In order to cater to the various demands of insurers, service providers are increasingly investing in modernized policy administration platforms that would enable insurers to free capital from legacy infrastructure and redirect to more strategically relevant areas. The ability to offer an integrated value proposition of core administration platform offerings augmented with digital solutions would continue to define the competitive landscape for L&P insurance third-party service providers market.
