Streamlining and Minimizing Vendor Management Complexity
The growing enterprise demand for multisourcing service integration (MSI) is mainly driven by complexities in multivendor environments and the need for optimizing IT costs and enhancing service outcomes and quality. Service providers offer multiple end-to-end services to help organizations streamline service delivery processes, enhance supplier management, mitigate risks, and improve vendor collaboration. Additionally, service providers invest in advanced technologies such as AI/ML, automation, and proprietary IT service management tools to optimize service delivery and improve overall outcomes. This rising demand for MSI has also led to a 46% increase in the number of full-time employees working in this field. Both demand-side and supply-side trends are covered in our Multisourcing Service Integration 2022–2023 Market Insights™ and Multisourcing Service Integration 2022–2023 RadarView™, respectively.

Combining Technology and Domain Expertise to Deliver Touchless Claims Experience
With uncertain macroeconomic conditions, an increasing number of natural calamities, and rising inflation, insurers are dealing with a huge volume of claims. Insurers must find new ways to continue innovating through this challenging period. For property and casualty (P&C) insurance providers, this translates to a significant impact on nearly every category of insurance due to the rising claims expenses and costs. Even though they are losing money, they need to invest continuously to offer better quality and customer experience. With the emergence of technologies such as IoT, AI, and telematics, insurers can adopt a more proactive strategy for forecasting, identifying, and mitigating risks, and to support these, they rely on outsourcing claims processing to service providers. This is evident from a 15%–20% increase in the revenue of claims processing outsourcing service providers between March 2022 and March 2023. Demand-side and supply-side trends are covered in our Claims Processing Business Process Transformation 2023 Market Insights™ and Claims Processing Business Process Transformation 2023 RadarView™, respectively.
