Key Findings & Highlights:
Five years ago HCL began observing that, in the IT services market, enterprises were being increasingly constrained by the cost of managing ongoing operations, and were unable to invest in adapting systems to the changing business environment. Based on these observations, HCL decided to create a new delivery model with two key features:
- Incorporating emerging technologies by partnering with start-ups and technology vendors
- Working more closely with both IT and LOB in clients by establishing coinnovation labs near clients.
HCL started its first FinTech engagement in 2012 with a global Continental European bank, out of its London office. The bank was experiencing difficulties in bringing new offerings to market in its capital markets division. To adapt its IT systems to new offerings, it was facing two impediments:
- The organization was rigid and not able to pull in resources to adapt systems
- Tools for IT enablement were not strong.
HCL created a co-innovation lab in London. It applied the principles of design thinking to the task and built a product innovation capability for the bank to address its challenges. The solution sits on top of existing legacy systems, which often have differing data fields and processes. The solution reaches across these systems and applies common taxonomies and outputs so that new offerings can be rolled out across the bank with a common look, feel, and integration for individual customers.
