Infosys to Provide Outsourcing Services to Dutch Insurer

New Delhi: Infosys BPO on Thursday said it has secured an IT services deal with Dutch insurance services firm a.s.r. for supporting back-office operations.

The BPO services arm of the Bangalore-based firm, Infosys BPO, will supply back-office services for the a.s.r.-labelled pensions administration system from April 1, 2015, Infosys said in a statement.

Eighty seven employees of a.s.r. will be transferred to Infosys BPO.

The contract was signed at the end of January by Jos Baeten, chief executive of a.s.r., and Anup Uppadhayay, CEO and managing director of Infosys BPO, it added.

a.s.r. also offers a wide range of financial products covering non-life, life and income protection insurance, group and individual pensions, health insurance, and travel and leisure and funeral insurance. It also invests in developing and operating real estate.

"To support our vision on continuous improvement of our client services and to be more cost effective, we have selected Infosys BPO to run our pensions back-office administration," Mr Baeten said.

Mr Uppadhayay said organisations like a.s.r. need to be focused on their core business and they are, therefore, looking to partner with experts like Infosys BPO to streamline their operations and enable seamless running of business processes.
