So, um, what's left of an insurance company once it's outsourced all the data related functions? It's not like a company that bangs out widgets on a production line; the data is everything. Insurance is about pooling risk, and an insurance *company* exists to make a profit on pooling risk. Why would such a company need more than a CEO and a couple of actuaries on the payroll? Probably those could be outsourced too, saving even more money.
