Background of the research
The healthcare industry has witnessed a rapid increase in IT and business process outsourcing adoption in recent years.
Regulatory reform, consumerization of healthcare, market consolidation, and emergence of new technologies have accelerated
outsourcing in the healthcare market. A number and variety of service providers have developed capabilities to cater to this
growing market.
With healthcare companies stepping up adoption of outsourced delivery, there is an uptick in demand for research and market
intelligence on demand and supply trends in healthcare outsourcing across the three major market segments – payer, provider,
and life sciences. The need is more pronounced for the vertical-specific IT outsourcing, where business challenges are driving
greater adoption. Everest Group’s healthcare outsourcing research program addresses this market requirement by analyzing
outsourcing trends and service provider capabilities specific to ITO in the healthcare vertical.
In this report, we analyze current trends and the future outlook for large, multi-year ITO relationships for the healthcare
payer market. In addition, we identify the leading and upcoming service providers in this segment. We focus on:
 Trends in ITO in the healthcare industry
 Market trends and activities for large ITO relationships in the payer segment
 Drivers for change and future outlook for ITO in the payer segment
 Implications for healthcare payer buyers and service providers
Scope of this report
 Industry: Healthcare payer (public health plans and private health plans)
 Services: Large (TCV > US$25 million), multi-year (>3 years), and annuity-based application outsourcing
 Geography: Global
 Sourcing model: Third-party ITO transactions; excludes shared services or global in-house centers
