According to Gartner, with a projected growth of 9.4 per cent, insurers are on pace to spend Rs 11,890 crore on IT products and services in 2014, and spending will increase to Rs 13,000 crore in next years.
This forecast includes spending on internal IT (including personnel), hardware, software, external IT services and telecommunications.
