Why should you outsource this type of analytical work?

 

Depending on the size of your company, you may already have people doing the types of work listed on the previous page, or may be considering adding staff to work on these projects.  However, it still may make sense to work with an outside consultant for the following reasons:

 

Objectivity of an external opinion may be desired.

 

Regular operational requirements on internal staff may limit the ability to focus on some of these issues in the way that a consulting engagement can. 

 

Highly specialized skills may not be required on a full time basis. 

 

Cyclical nature of the property casualty business gives some added attractiveness to outsourcing staff.
