  2. Solving What Keeps You Up at Night • For me it’s the following are always on my mind: • Figuring out how to increase sales • Decrease expenses • Supply sufficient work for employees • Provide an acceptable return for our Board of Directors • I am certain this is similar to what you think about.

  3. The Dilemma • The insurance industry has experienced some interesting times. • Competitive conditions have led to decreased pricing, forcing a greater pressure on: • Effective underwriting • Cost management • Some pressure was relieved by higher investment income which offset the pricing declines until the financial markets practically collapsed. • With decreased investment income, what can a sensible company do to provide adequate returns to its stakeholders?

  4. The Solution • The answer lies in a more focused approach to: • Efficient expense management • Prudent underwriting through increased information • Improved workflow efficiencies • Improved return on investment • You need to figure out how to achieve these critical objectives.

  5. The Solution • Expense management means controlling: • FTE costs and people-related expenses • Possibly reducing staff • With workforce reductions, collecting data critical to improving your underwriting results and loss ratios can suffer. • Several points of improvement in underwriting loss ratios can far outweigh the improvements gained through budget reductions. • Easily done through Outsourcing

  6. Advantages of Outsourcing • Embraced today by companies of all sizes in the insurance industry • Growing trend of relocating entire business functions to third-party service providers • Assistance with expensive in-house tasks that drain time and internal resources to boost your bottom line • Partnership with an outsource partner offers many rewards

  7. Advantages of Outsourcing • Cost savings • Flexibility • Quality & Timeliness • Customization • Superior technology • Invest in profitability

  8. Cost Savings • The greatest, most attractive benefit of outsourcing is cost-effectiveness • Economies of scale save money because unit costs decrease as volumes increase • An outsourcing partnership can achieve economies of scale unavailable to an individual firm because we service multiple clients across the U.S. • Results in higher quality service at a lower cost

  9. Flexibility • Many businesses experience times of high and low demand throughout the year • The cost of hiring full-time employees for an uncertain workload is more expensive than the price of using an outsource partner • Therefore, your organization will not need to increase its head count throughout the vacillations of your business cycle. • Outsourcing can accommodate your needs as demand fluctuates

  10. Quality & Timeliness • Choose an outsourcing provider that has perfected its service offerings • Specializes in detailing outsourcing needs • Highly skilled, knowledgeable nationwide workforce • Innovative, “best in class” technology to support their platform of products • Proficiency will increase the speed that your completed work is delivered and will enhance the quality of the final product.

  11. Customization • A partner who will work with your company to develop special forms and a work process unique to your needs and business requirements. • Develop efficient workflows. • Capable of providing the necessary customized management reports to allow for proper tracking of performance and inventories

  12. Superior Technology • Overland Solutions’ technological expertise is best in class. • We offer an array of solutions to provide a systematic, flexible and safe data exchange. • Our state of the art automation capabilities allow for a cost-effective means for your company to deliver and receive completed audits and surveys using options such as our website or system to system interfaces. • Our systems are transparent, allowing you to see exactly what is occurring with every work order. • Technology allows you to operate with less manual procedures and reduced clerical support.

  13. Invest in Profitability • Outsourcing allows a company to invest time and resources into more profitable activities and key competencies. • As the leader of your organization, you may choose to outsource and off-load less interesting, “commodity” projects to an outsource partner • Saving time for your internal staff to pursue new development opportunities and growth-oriented activities. • Outsourcing can also free up management time to focus on more strategic goals and customer relationships instead of the supervision of daily operational pursuits.

  14. Gather Valuable Information • Companies often do not know the true nature of a risk until it is too late and a loss occurs. • Understanding a customer’s characteristics can be useful in discovering unacceptable risks. • This priceless insight can only save you money and improve your overall underwriting results.

  15. Gather Valuable Information • A realistic approach is to find better data to understand the operations of a risk. • This data can be obtained through: • Loss control visits or safety assessments • Inspection surveys (on-site) • Premium audits • These reports empower you to properly classify your business and make informed decisions on the profit potential of each insured.
