Wipro began developing its FinTech services capabilities in 2012 as a response to its perception that the financial services IT market was changing. Wipro began to respond to the new technologies available and the increased compliance requirements by developing solutions for big data and NLG internally. By 2014, it had created the HOLMES cognitive intelligence platform. The NLG capability of HOLMES was first deployed internally in the Wipro customer service desk offering.
By 2014, Wipro had formalized its response to the changes in the market, identifying three key changes:
- Shift in customer expectations: the rise of the millennial generation and the acceptance by the public of mobile technologies made the purchase of financial services a decision about experience, not products
- Compliance requirements permanently increased: for an institution to meet these requirements efficiently it must use advanced technologies
- Advanced technologies: a new generation of technologies was poised to be commercialized, which could address the challenges which banks are facing.
Wipro has developed its FinTech services capabilities to meet financial industry needs in two different initiatives:
- Retail and commercial banking: the focus is on consulting, design, and deployment services for FinTech to provide an integrated range of services
- Capital markets: the focus is on a few industry processes and creating cloud delivered micro-utilities. Capital markets is not focused on consulting, design, and deployment for its FinTech services because its capital markets clients are primarily global custodians with developed FinTech strategies.
The financial services business unit, banking and capital markets, is responsible for FinTech services, to develop it with domain-specific capabilities for the FS industry.
