QBE picks Indian group to run analytics ops

India-based WNS Holdings is to manage QBE’s end-to-end predictive analytics for claims, underwriting, distribution and fraud.

The announcement was made by WNS, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

A spokesman for QBE declined to comment on the contract, but says the insurer will hold an investor day briefing in May, when the company’s data and analytics program will be a subject of discussion.

“This engagement represents one of the largest and most comprehensive insurance analytics deals in the [business process management] industry, and is a testament to the domain capabilities we have developed in both insurance and analytics,” WNS CEO Keshav Murugesh said.
