The Sutherland business transformation group is often the first point of engagement with our clients. The business transformation
group provides four distinct services that allow us to develop a deep understanding of the client’s business before a solution is
implemented, resulting in increased speed of transition and implementation, improved profitability for our clients, improved
forecasting ability and the potential to identify additional areas for business improvement across the client’s entire organization.
In many cases, the business transformation group will unearth new opportunities for the client to realize value and allow clients to
sequentially streamline additional business functions. Typically, our business transformation group will maintain close contact with
our clients throughout the client relationship, resulting in ongoing identification of new areas for process improvement and allowing
us to implement globally delivered solutions to address these needs.

GOVERNMENT
With today’s ever increasing need for services and solutions, Governments find themselves in a position of need with respect to resources, scalability, and
knowledge. At the same time, Governments are faced with the realities to produce more efficiency, operate more effectively and provide cost savings to their
constituents. Strategic Business Process Outsourcing continues to grow as a necessary solution for government decision makers to deliver constituent services, IT
Help Desk and back-office processing of information and documents.
Sutherland offers multi-channel constituent care via telephone, email, chat and self-service. Our service portfolio and integration of front office and back office
services allow Government’s to focus on their core mission – providing services to their citizens, while improving the citizen experience and reduce overall cost of
Government services.
HEALTH CARE
Like most customer-focused industries, Health Insurance companies are evaluating strategic sourcing alternatives that will allow them to better control costs,
reduce capital expenditures and improve the level of service they deliver to their members. One way Health Insurance companies can accomplish these objectives
is to consider selective Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) for certain sales, customer service, claims management and back-office processing functions.
With over two decades in the outsourcing services arena, Sutherland has developed a time-tested outsourcing model that delivers measurable results for
insurance clients - whether it is converting marketing inquiries into closed sales, improving customer satisfaction scores or reducing administrative costs for
manual, paper-intensive processes.
INSURANCE
The worldwide insurance industry is undergoing changes at an increasing rate. Driven by the ability of consumers to access information, competition in the
industry has never been greater. Customer loyalty remains critical but with extreme cost pressures, companies strive to provide exceptional service to retain hard
won customers. Business models are changing and it is critical to streamline operations and improve processes.
Sutherland provides public and private Insurance companies an end to end strategy to improve their operational efficiencies and enables them to compete more
efficiently which in turn help them to innovate and create a lasting competitive advantage.
The current economic downturn has resulted in significant pressures for retailers to reduce costs, drive top-line revenue, and improve their operational
performance. In addition, most retail organizations are evaluating how to enhance their customer interaction models in order to create an emotional bond with their
customers.
“Know your customer” has been a retail industry mantra for the past several decades. Retailers have made tremendous investments to increase profitability,
reduce cost, and increase competitiveness. In spite of these significant investments, customer loyalty remains elusive.
Many studies show a high correlation between customer experience and loyalty. Sutherland helps Retail organizations measure and understand the “voice of the
customer” to design and manage unique outsourced solutions that maximize that relationship and deliver measurable results that you can manage to. Our focus
on the bottom line drives increased revenues and reduced cost.
Service Offerings
Our services consist of back and front office services, which are integrated to provide end-to-end services involving the management of entire business processes
for our clients. Our services are custom tailored to each client’s business model and their end customer needs and are typically provided via multiple delivery
centers throughout the world. Our expertise includes process mapping and consulting, analytical analysis, technology, including our own scalable technology
platform, and operational insight arising from managing complex processes in diverse industries for numerous clients. We apply this using our award winning Six
Sigma based approach and know that our experience minimizes the risks clients encounter when they outsource. We provide complex, end-to-end BPO services
that help improve our clients’ efficiency and productivity while delivering measurable results.
TECHNOLOGY
People, Process and Technology are the foundation upon which Sutherland has built and grown over the past 24 years. The Sutherland Service Excellence
Framework , defined by Flawless Execution, Consistent Quality, Enhanced Customer Experience, Continuous Process Improvement and Ability to
Scale is built on a suite of Customized Technology solutions (100+ Sutherland IP Applications, Tools & Products) designed, developed and deployed for our
clients by Six Sigma certified engineers leveraging our 24 years of domain expertise in the BPO space.
Technology companies today (hardware, software, peripherals and devices) are investing significant resources to develop the people, technology, infrastructure
and management processes to support an increasingly demanding customer base. Sutherland understands the technology eco system and the challenges of
commoditized products, reduced spend per customer, increasing customer support cost and the need for continuous product innovations.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
There are not many industries more competitive than the telecommunication and cable industry. Service providers are rapidly developing new offerings and are
aggressively entering new markets, blurring the lines between voice, data, cable, IP and wireless. Enhanced technologies, changing regulations and merger-mania
have become facts of life.
Unique price and regulatory pressures are also making it more difficult for providers to grow market share and manage a healthy profit picture.
Telecommunications and cable companies must significantly invest in resources to develop people, technology, applications, infrastructure and management
processes to obtain, retain and grow an increasingly demanding customer base.
The Travel, Tourism and Leisure sector includes complex organizations with numerous international business units managing separate P&L responsibilities. As
business and personal travel volumes decline, every company faces intense competition to provide extraordinary customer service while controlling costs. It is
essential that customers receive best-in-class service and care which can be a challenge as the industry is faced with rapidly rising costs, changing customer
needs and economic pressures. Now more than ever, companies that leverage outsourcing as a strategy to maintain and gain competitive advantage will be able
to maximize the lifetime value of their customers.
For 24 years, Sutherland Global Services has built and managed outsourced operations for Fortune 1000 companies across multiple industries and around the
world. Over the last two decades, Sutherland has consistently entered new markets and segments by adapting our proven methodology for managing outsourced
engagements.
By hiring the best possible individuals from an industry, we build a knowledge base that enables us to understand the uniqueness in a particular industry.
Combining this subject matter domain expertise with our understanding of BPO has allowed us to bring to market solutions that look and feel familiar - but deliver
better performance and results.
