by Ranjith Reddy, Pagalam Rajeshwaran

BFSI analytics services has gained huge traction over the last few years as a result of the great surge in data availability through proliferation of multiple digital touch points in the industry. Therefore, the BFSI companies feel a need to leverage analytics to make data-driven business decisions to stay competitive. While traditional analytics services, such as reporting and descriptive analytics, have become mainstream for most companies, there is an increased traction for advanced analytics services, such as predictive and prescriptive analytics, especially in the customer, risk, and fraud analytics.
