This is an independent national provider of comprehensive technology-enabled outsourcing solutions that help insurance carriers, employers and other clients mitigate risk, comply with complex regulations and save time and money.

The company provides these services either on an individual basis, as bundles of two or more services tailored to a client’s specific needs or on a turnkey basis in which it provides a comprehensive set of front-end and back-end services to a client.
