Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

"We chose to outsource many of the development functions related to two of our large legacy life insurance administration systems to a trusted, experienced provider. This move will reduce our costs and allow us to more effectively manage peak demands for IT services," comments Todd Coombes, chief technology officer, Conseco. "Based on CSC's proven record in application outsourcing, we also expect this expanded relationship to help us continue to improve service to our agents and policyholders."
