The report cites TCS’ digital and transformation capabilities, as well as implementation across multiple Life and Pensions (L&P) clients supported by Robotic Process Automation (RPA), platforms and analytics. The report also emphasizes TCS’ significant growth in revenue and client base, exhaustive coverage of different lines of business, huge delivery footprint, and high customer satisfaction.

“Life and Pensions insurers today are focused on transforming their operations for greater flexibility and agility, and leveraging digital technologies to align their products to evolving customer needs,” said Suresh Muthuswami, President and Global Head, Banking, Financial Services and Insurance Platforms, TCS. “This leadership ranking is recognition of the market leading success enjoyed by TCS’ comprehensive set of offerings in the L&P value chain.”

TCS' extensive experience in working with leading insurers across the world over the last few decades has helped develop deep business expertise in the life and pensions domain, and a large talent pool that holds major industry certifications. This domain depth, combined with TCS’ tradition of investing in building intellectual property has resulted in the creation of differentiating digital offerings and solutions, including TCS Customer 720 View, Forms Modernization and Business Rules Extraction Offering for Insurers – that deliver significant time to market advantages to customers.

At the core of TCS’ offerings for life and pensions customers seeking to transform their operations is TCS BaNCS Insurance, a complete, open architecture digital solution with an integrated business rules engine, encompassing policy administration, data management, integrated imaging, and workflow administration.

It has been successfully deployed as a cloud-based shared platform in the United Kingdom, where it has enjoyed much market success, and is used to administer over 17 million policies belonging to different insurance companies in a shared-technology, shared-services model.

TCS has since adapted the platform to meet the operational and regulatory needs of the U.S. market, and started 2018 with its first big win in the United States, when Transamerica signed up for the administration of over 10 million policies, making the multi-year, $2Bn+ contract the largest one signed by TCS to date.

“TCS’ experience and technology-aided delivery capability have helped it establish itself as a leading service provider in L&P insurance BPO market. Its exhaustive coverage of processes in L&P insurance, automation offerings, and analytics solutions have realized cost and operational efficiencies for a number of its clients, especially in the U.K. closed blocks businesses. With its robust suite of technology solutions and a referenceable client base citing its capability to transform operations, it is well positioned to serve the needs of buyers beyond U.K.as well,” said Anupam Jain, Practice Director, Everest Group.
