Mumbai : Britain-based business process outsourcing (BPO) service provider and subsidiary of India’s largest software company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) Diligenta Wednesday said it had won a 15-year contract worth $2.2 billion from financial firm Friends Life.
“It (Diligenta) will assume administrative responsibility for 3.2 million policies for Friends Life, a provider of pensions, investment and insurance,” TCS said in a regulatory filing.
The agreement is effective from March 1, 2012.
“Our strong presence in the insurance segment, track record and the early investments in building products and platforms have contributed to this win,” said N. Chandrasekaran chief executive officer and managing director of TCS and chairman of Diligenta.
