Financial Services
Global financial institutions face an increasingly complex market. They must manage
spiraling customer expectations, meet regulatory demands, develop new products and
contain operating costs in an environment of stiff competition. Confronted with
the necessity to change, particularly in the aftermath of recession, financial institutions
are now facing a new reality: after years of maintaining core platforms based on
legacy technologies, they must now re-examine their technology strategy and road
map. In fact, Forrester Research suggests that over the next 3 to 5 years almost
65 per cent of core banking systems in Europe alone will need to be replaced. Banks
are now looking for financial technology and tools that will enable them to stay
abreast of compliance, manage risk, display transparency, respond with agility to
market changes and customize products even as they safeguard existing investments,
lower their TCO and maintain profitability. From a macro-perspective, financial
institutions are moving to shed the transactional orientation of the past and focusing
on improving efficiency and customer orientation of their operations.
