  3. Market Assessment – “Growth In 2013, global life insurance premiums written were USD 2 608 billion, with growth slowing to 0.7% from 2.3% in 2012”(Source - Swiss Re Sigma ) “Strong growth in Western Europe and Oceania was offset by a contraction in North America and stagnating sales in advanced Asia. Premiums contracted by 7.7% in the US. This was mainly because large corporate deals that had boosted group annuity business in 2012 were not repeated. In emerging markets, life premium growth improved to 6.4% in 2013. Growth was solid in Latin America and Africa, and resumed in China and India. In advanced countries, post-crisis average premium growth has been well below pre-crisis levels. In emerging markets the same is true in emerging Asia only. This is because of sharp declines in China and India coming after regulatory changes in both in 2011.”

  4. Market Assessment – “Interest Rates have been falling for the last three decades and are now at historic lows….” (Source - Swiss Re Sigma ) “According to sigma estimates, in 2012 about USD 27 000 billion of funds (about 12% of global financial assets) were managed and invested by the global insurance industry. Thus a one percentage point reduction in interest rates would ultimately cut insurers’ investment income by about USD 270 billion per year. That represents around 6% of global annual premium income (in 2012 terms).”

  5. Market Assessment – “Life insurers across the globe are looking for better growth and profitability. Unfortunately, their legacy policy administration systems have been largely inflexible and unable to adapt to constantly changing market dynamic….” (Source - Capgemini) “Leveraging multiple distribution channels and managing a diverse product range are other important drivers in the need for transformation of the policy administration function. Regulatory compliance has also become more critical due to changing regulations and global expansion. The life insurance industry is increasingly looking for vendor packages and outsourcing to control cost and leverage best practices.”

  6. Market Assessment – “There are significant opportunities from the emerging markets as awareness of the need for advice around Financial Services products increases especially amongst the emerging middle classes.” (Source - E&Y)

  7. Market Assessment – The life insurance industry is increasingly looking for vendor packages and outsourcing to control cost and leverage best practices. (Source - Capgemini) “These changes have led to an increase in the following key trends related to policy administration for life insurance firms globally: ■ Consolidation of policy administration systems. ■ Adoption of vendor packages for policy administration. ■ Outsourcing of policy administration functions. ■ Need for a policy administration system that supports a global expansion strategy.”

  8. Insurance Market: Business Realities Insurance companies globally willing to extend their IT Budget Demand for Policy Administration has been on consistent rise through last year
