Outsourcing & Offshoring

Insure Connect is an independent organisation with over 25 years of Insurance administration and outsourced experience by an insurance company, broker and Underwriting Managers to administer and manage functions in preference to delivering those services in-house. For any insurance business the concept of outsourcing important aspects of its service offering is one it must take seriously, as clients and brokers may perceive the company to be forgoing control of some of its core functions. It is equally important, however, that clients and brokers understand what it means to outsource and the benefits it delivers. We are global leaders in attracting, retaining, scaling, training and developing talent, who have exceptional English language written and communication skills, and extremely high work ethic, familiar with a highly regulated industry and its requirements, the business case is that they are located in South Africa where the costs of these services are significantly lower than anywhere else globally.
