Xchanging Broking Services is now fully controlled by Xchanging. The business process and technology services provider and integrator has formed an enterprise partnership with Aon in 2006.
Aon has exercised the put option it holds to transfer its entire shareholding in Xchanging Broking Services to Xchanging. The transfer gives Xchanging 100% ownership of XBS.
The enterprise partnership was formed to create a platform to provide services for insurance broking firms, including the processing of insurance policies and claims. It involved outsourcing of Aon’s Client Operations division to XBS. Xchanging’s service contract with Aon will continue unaffected by the exercise of the option.
Following this transaction, Xchanging can offer XBS as an independent broking platform to insurance broking firms going forward whilst continuing to nurture its strong relationship with Aon.
Ken Lever, Chief Executive of Xchanging said, “We are pleased our relationship with Aon, a valued customer, will continue through our service contract with them following change of control of the Enterprise Partnership. As we set out in our Four Part Action Plan, simplifying our overall business structure is one of our objectives. Gaining 100% ownership of Xchanging Broking Services contributes towards this objective”.
