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 offers a full suite of end-to-end insurance-related and specialty services that allow its clients to improve efficiencies and reduce expenses through value-added processes.

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.

Revenue totaled $90.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and $117.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net income (loss) for such periods was $(3.8) million and $10.4 million, respectively.
