The insurance industry is rebounding from its poor financial results of a few years ago. Better risk management, higher premiums and increased use of underwriting information systems have led the way. Meanwhile, the insurance industry is increasingly globalized as cross-border investments and acquisitions continue at a rapid pace.

These services include e-commerce, call centers and information technologies.
