Congratulations to Tony “Governator” Filippone, HfS’ new Head of Research
Our core mantra at HfS has always been to tackle the issues and complexities of global sourcing through the eyes of the buyer.

It may be for life, but will there be innovation, as TCS inks the mother of all insurance BPO deals
TCS' insurance services delivery subsidiary, Diligenta, has become wedded to in a 15-year, $2.2bn, 1900 employee life and pensions BPO engagement with the UK's Friends Life.

HfS has always been encouraged by the firm's approach to developing both horizontal and vertical BPO services, and its focus on leveraging its IT heritage to augment its value proposition. Infy is by no means the biggest player in the BPO business nor does it want to be, but it has been able to establish itself as a smart and very respected player in the BPO business.Read More
