Over time it intends to expand its buying center coverage in banks to include deposits, payments, and auto finance.
Firstsource began delivering intelligent automation services for a U.K.-headquartered tier one bank in 2016. The client wanted to increase the operational efficiency of its factoring and commercial lending businesses. Firstsource delivered the engagement consisting of rearchitecting workflows and designing and deploying bots.
In the intelligent automation space, Firstsource focuses on the orchestration of business processes to deliver value. Its primary offering bundle is license and platform services, which focus on the delivery of document management and omnichannel engagement services.
Financial institutions that are looking to commit to a platform to support process automation for license/platform services and implementation/managed services should consider Firstsource.
