  • 3 Key Growth Segments for Banking ITS & BPS in 2021

    Dec 18, 2020, by Andy Efstathiou

      Banks will spend 2021 pursuing different aspects of three key initiatives that have become more important since the advent of COVID-19.

  • Gig Work: From Stopgap to Pillar of WNS’ CX Services Model

    Dec 15, 2020, by Ivan Kotzev

      In a year when the U.S. stock market pushed to a record high, the U.K. had its worst recession in 300 years, and entire sectors shut down for weeks, business planning has become less reliable while demand fluctuates unexpectedly and inconsistently. The supporting industry of CX services is directly impacted on two fronts: Challenges with supply, where the traditional multi-hund[...]

  • Wipro: ‘Obsession for Growth’

    Dec 12, 2020, by Rachael Stormonth

    With a new Chairman appointed 15 months ago and a new CEO in place for the last four, Wipro has seen a significant changing of the guard – much has been made of the fact that Thierry Delaporte is Wipro’s first non-Indian CEO appointment. The announcements made in a recent event for financial analysts (its first such event in five years) reveal some major shifts happening within the[...]

  • WNS Launches Quote-to-Sustain to Reinvent Order-to-Cash

    Nov 20, 2020, by John Willmott

      The pandemic has changed organizations’ attitudes towards the need for change, greatly increasing their emphasis on adopting new digital process models and digital transformation. Partly this is driven by the need to enhance their transactional efficiency and effectiveness rapidly, but at least equally importantly, it has brought a much greater requirement for real-time informa[...]

  • Infosys McCamish Life & Annuities Platforms Combining Depth of Policy Coverage & Breadth of Customer Experience

    Nov 20, 2020, by John Willmott

      For some time, life & annuities carriers have suffered from a multitude of legacy platforms, with each implemented to handle a particular style of product that was either not handled by its predecessor or was added through the acquisition of a set of blocks from another carrier. The resulting stable of platforms has always been expensive to maintain. In recent years, this has bee[...]

  • Wipro Resumes Salesforce Acquisitions with 4C

    Nov 04, 2020, by Dominique Raviart

Indianapolis-headquartered Appirio was an essential move for Wipro, paying $500m for the firm, its second-largest acquisition ever. As well as a Salesforce business, Appirio brought in a Google practice, crowdsourcing [...]

  • How Capgemini is Targeting Improved Wealth Advisory Services

    Nov 03, 2020, by Andy Efstathiou

      It has been extensively reported that industries requiring in-person interaction, such as travel and entertainment, have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Less obvious has been the impact on industries that are often typified by remote delivery. For example, the wealth and asset management industry is primarily driven by the long-term buildup of wealth and involves in[...]

  • OSVAtmosphere: Removing the Mystery from HR & Payroll Service Delivery

    Oct 07, 2020, by Elizabeth Rennie

      The recent impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic exposed many HR and payroll service delivery models as being unequipped and unprepared to pivot to remote work, access the data needed to obtain government support, and move money to employees in a timely and compliant fashion. The pandemic also accelerated an already intensifying push toward digital HR and payroll adoption, particularly as[...]

    Oct 07, 2020, by Nikki Edwards

      Quarterly financial reports for 2020 (April onwards) from recruitment organizations show that in a COVID-19 world, temporary hiring is more resilient than permanent hiring, faring on average about 10-30% better (albeit both types of hiring are seeing negative growth overall).
