As regulatory expectations intensify, insurers are embedding automation and AI into core administration processes with human oversight and auditable decision-making. Resilience, transparent controls and consistent service delivery are becoming core operational model requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cNorth American insurers are adopting AI selectively, with a \u2018my data with my people behind my firewall\u2019 approach,\u201d said Dennis Winkler, director, Insurance Industry, at ISG. \u201cCompanies are looking to providers with deep insurance expertise to help them adopt AI to improve operational performance while reducing costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMany insurers are expanding outsourcing, as well as and TPA and pension risk transfer arrangements, to manage the growing operational complexity associated with mature and closed books of business. These portfolios require sustained servicing accuracy and dependable payout administration, because errors can have significant financial, regulatory and reputational consequences. TPA and pension risk transfer transactions have policy conversion requirements involving transition quality, data integrity and customer service continuity.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs enterprises modernize administration environments, they are pursuing phased approaches rather than large-scale platform replacements. Carriers increasingly choose strategies for workflow orchestration, platform coexistence and conversion strategies that reduce implementation risk to keep established systems stable. This allows organizations to improve servicing capabilities while maintaining complex product portfolios and technology estates.<\/p>\n<p>\nInsurers are implementing AI and automation for underwriting, customer support, payments, exception management and servicing of policies. Their AI strategies are focused on incorporating human oversight, auditable decision records and control mechanisms to support accountability and operational consistency. These organizations increasingly seek integrated operating layers that can scale efficiently while supporting regulatory requirements and service reliability, ISG says.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSuccessful modernization in life and retirement insurance depends on balancing efficiency with control,\u201d said Sandhya Navage, ISG lead research specialist and lead author of the report. \u201cProviders that deliver disciplined execution with integrated automation are helping insurers improve performance while maintaining the standards required for long-term administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report also explores other trends affecting life and retirement insurance services in North America, including increasing demand for outcome-based performance measurement and growing use of differentiated operating models tailored to specific portfolio risk profiles.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more insights into the challenges faced by life and retirement insurance enterprises in North America, along with ISG\u2019s advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens Focal Points briefing <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fei.isg-one.com%2FResearch%2F_MarketingPage%3FdashboardID%3D201a11ca-c115-4a33-a9f7-941eceefbbd1%26documentId%3Drvh9c0heYV&amp;esheet=54561244&amp;newsitemid=20260629233710&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=here&amp;index=3&amp;md5=bfeda6ab2ac8bf577485bd9d6074e511\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report evaluates the capabilities of 30 providers across two quadrants: Insurance Services \u2014 Life and Retirement (L&amp;R) BPO and Insurance Services \u2014 Life and Retirement (L&amp;R) TPA.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe report names Accenture, Cognizant, DXC Technology, EXL, Infosys, Sutherland and WNS, part of Capgemini as Leaders in both quadrants.
