New Delhi , Dec. 9

HCL Technologies, a provider of information technology and BPO solutions, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with UK-based insurance broking giant AA Insurance Services, for offering financial services to the latter's customers.

"Leveraging its contact centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland, HCL will be selling financial services to AA customers. HCL has regulatory approval for such work and with this contract, make its entry into the front office distribution market for the first time," a company release said here.

It is expected that the sales activity for AA will become fully regulated by January 2005. AA Insurance Services — part of one of UK's largest automobile associations — provides competitive quotes for car, home and travel in the UK market.
