In 2002, Forrester Research Group recognized TriZetto as a leader in providing outsourced services, saying, "TriZetto’s strategic focus on healthcare, and rapid growth in the business process outsourcing market put it on the short list for plans considering outsourcing."2

TriZetto’s three types of outsourced services – software hosting and management, transaction processing, and IT operations management – reduce or eliminate upfront capital costs and significantly increase return on investment. When a customer combines all three levels of outsourcing, the organization can reap the full benefit of TriZetto's comprehensive solutions.
