Celent profiles IT services vendors for the insurance industry. The report covers 25 vendors around the globe with a focus on European, Middle East, and Africa presence.
IT service vendors have become an integral part of the insurance landscape; even the most self-reliant insurers with expert IT organizations have some experience with an IT partner. The many IT service vendors of varying sizes, skills, and focus means it is difficult to create a comprehensive guide for the insurance industry.
In the report IT Services Vendors Solutions Spectrum: EMEA Version, 2014, Celent looks to provide a guide of IT services vendors. Although this is not an exhaustive list, the report captures a wide cross-section of the available vendors and functions. This report is a companion to the versions for North America, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific.
The report profiles the following vendors:

IT services vendors provide unique value to insurance companies, combining skills and expertise in crucial domains, going from highly technical areas such as application development, testing, and migration to insurance business-oriented services such as strategic consulting and business process outsourcing.
“EMEA is a region where the market’s maturity varies widely and insurers conducting business across different countries require the expertise of IT services vendors they know they can trust because of their knowledge scope,” says Nicolas Michellod, a senior analyst with Celent’s Insurance practice and coauthor of the report. “Recently we have seen IT services vendors looking for further diversifications of their services to the core insurance system vendor space through intellectual property development or acquisition.”
