Healthcare payers are striving to drive down costs by increasing operational efficiency, to improve health outcomes and to enhance the customer experience. These dynamics, along with demographic trends and rapid regulatory change, are increasing the strategic value of care management systems.
Healthcare offers an attractive growth opportunity for EXL, as the industry faces secular cost pressures, regulatory implementation deadlines, potentially surging enrollments, and increasing shortage of analytical staff.
