INTRODUCTION

In 2012, BFSI buyers continued to remain under pressure to increase revenue, enhance customer experience, reduce costs, replace legacy systems, and meet regulatory requirements. To address these challenges, most banks focused on transforming themselves and increasing investments in technologies (such as social media, mobility, big data & analytics, and cloud computing) in order to enhance customer experience while simultaneously reducing their operational costs, better managing risk, and improving shareholder returns.

As financial institutions gear up for these changes, they are looking to identify strategic partners that can help them develop solutions which drive efficiency and sustain the pace of technological advancement in this rapidly-evolving industry. Additionally, with the continued trend towards consolidation, financial institutions are signing larger and more strategic AO contracts with a fewer number of service providers, a phenomenon that is expected to meaningfully alter the AO services landscape in the BFSI segment.

In this research, we analyze the capabilities of 28 leading AO service providers, specific to the global banking sector. These providers were mapped on Everest Group Performance | Experience | Ability | Knowledge (PEAK) MatrixTM, which is a composite index of a range of distinct metrics related to each provider’s capability and market success. In this report, we focus on:

  • The landscape of service providers for banking AO
  • Assessment of the service providers on a number of capability-related dimensions
  • Characteristics of Leaders, Major Contenders, and Emerging Players on Everest Group banking – AO PEAK Matrix
  • “Star Performers” of 2012, providers with the strongest forward movement over time – in terms of both market success and capability advancements
  • Implications for banking buyers and service providers

In addition to this, the research also provides an overview of the impact of recently proposed immigration reform on India-centric service providers and its clients.

Some of the findings in this report are:

  • Contrary to the last year, banking AO buyers engaged in smaller-scope contracts in 2012
  • Offshore majors have the highest buyer satisfaction levels, followed by tier-2 Indian providers
  • Leaders accounted for 55 to 60% of the overall banking AO market in terms of ACV, cumulative TCV, and number of contracts; Major Contenders significantly expanded their market share in 2012
  • While most providers have built strong capabilities in regulatory and risk management solutions; they are now shifting focus towards analytics and mobility where significant opportunities exist
  • While Leaders continue to dominate the market in terms of overall revenue, their growth slowed during the year
