Capital Markets BPO – Service Provider Landscape with PEAK Matrix™ Assessment 2017

28 Sep 2017
by Manu Aggarwal, Rajesh Ranjan, Robin Jain

The landscape for capital markets BPO is becoming increasingly competitive as service providers continue to evolve their capabilities and gain market share. The advent of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is playing a major role in shifting the dynamics of the competitive arena.

The past year witnessed the focus of most service providers shifting from core capital markets offerings to RPA and cognitive automation. While some of the leading providers tried to tap into the automation market by developing their in-house automation capabilities and investing in next-generation cognitive automation technology, others tried to make the most of the RPA opportunity by partnering/collaborating with RPA technology providers such as UIPath, BluePrism, etc.

While focusing on RPA can be a good short-term strategy for the service providers, they also need to identify avenues for the next wave of growth. Moreover, with the industry undergoing disruption from multiple fronts, service providers need to keep their eyes on the emerging technology trends such as blockchain, and be prepared for the impact that these might have on their business.
