Key Findings & Highlights:

Cognizant started its analytics activities in early 2000; this was significantly enhanced in 2007, with the acquisition of MarketRX, an analytics software vendor focused on the pharmaceutical industry. It then expanded its BFS BPS "embedded analytics" capability in 2009, with the addition of UBS India Captive, an experienced BPS BFS reporting, valuation and risk analytics team. Initially, Cognizant BFS BPS provided financial planning and analysis services, but over time its analytics engagement spread has expanded to include operations analytics, and risk and customer analytics services across BFS verticals (including capital market, cards and payments, mortgages, and retail banking).

Cognizant analytics and reporting BPS has 2.5k FTEs working in financial services (retail banking and capital markets), and delivers service from thirteen offshore and eleven onshore delivery centers.

In addition to the analytics and reporting BPS employees, Cognizant also has the following employees:

  • Analytics consulting (all industries): 2k FTEs
  • Analytics ITS (all industries): 10k FTEs.

Each physical center has a backup location to assure backup and disaster recovery. Client operations are deployed within centers, with client-specific security.

Cognizant' primary targets are:

  • Tier 1 banks headquartered in the U.S., U.K., and Continental Europe
  • Large regional banks and capital markets firms based in the U.S., U.K., or Europe.

Regional firms are targeted where Cognizant believes there is an opportunity for growth in the relationship, to a large scale relationship.

Cognizant has an estimated ~18 analytics and ~50 reporting BPS clients. Clients, by geography, are:

  • U.S.: ~33%
  • Europe: ~67%.

The breakdown of Cognizant's analytics and reporting BPS clients by sub-sector is:

  • Capital markets: ~67%
  • Retail banks: ~33%.

Cognizant has an estimated ~150 BFS clients overall, which are prospects for analytics and reporting BPS. It can grow its business in the next 12 months by focusing on helping clients which want to:

  • Outsource analytics and reporting operations to reduce their capital commitment to lines of businesses
  • Convert CAPEX to OPEX by buying a BPaaS analytics service.
