NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ExlService Holdings, Inc. ("EXL") (NASDAQ: EXLS), a leading provider of transformation and outsourcing services, today announced that it has acquired Trumbull Services, LLC ("Trumbull"), a market leader in subrogation services for property and casualty insurers, from The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. (NYSE:HIG). With this acquisition, EXL strengthens its leadership position in the insurance industry with a highly skilled and experienced employee base and an advanced software platform, and immediately becomes a leading provider of complex insurance subrogation outsourcing services. In conjunction with the
transaction, EXL will continue to provide services to The Hartford consistent with its existing Trumbull relationship. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. All Trumbull employees associated with the transaction have been offered comparable positions with EXL.
"We are pleased to find a partner with EXL's ability and reputation," said Gary Thompson, executive vice president and chief underwriting officer for Commercial Markets at The Hartford. "While Trumbull has built strong capabilities as a subrogation services provider, the sale of this business to EXL is consistent with The Hartford's strategy to focus resources on its core insurance and wealth management businesses."
Rohit Kapoor, President and CEO of EXL, stated, "The Hartford is one of EXL's strategic clients, and we are absolutely delighted to expand our relationship with them through this important transaction. In keeping with EXL's disciplined strategy of focusing our efforts on our target verticals, Trumbull enhances our domain expertise in P&C insurance with subrogation outsourcing. It also brings along a number of valuable relationships with insurance companies that are new to EXL and that we hope to develop more deeply. Trumbull's service offering is delivered off of the well known and highly regarded SubroSourceTM platform, which clients access on an ASP basis through the cloud or via a platform BPO offering. This acquisition furthers our effort to infuse our service offerings with technology
and drive toward greater business model scalability. My colleagues and I happily welcome to EXL the Trumbull team, including the company's President Brad Burdick, who will continue to manage the business and assume an important leadership role at EXL. We are eager to quickly engage with Trumbull's clients and prospects and share our thoughts on how EXL intends to invest in the growth of the business in areas such as data analytics, and enhance Trumbull's capabilities generally for the entire customer base."
