Key Findings & Highlights:
Sutherland Global Services is a digital transformation and BPS company focused on customer and employee experience-focused services. Sutherland entered the mortgage BPS business in 2010 with the acquisition of Adventity, a vendor of BPS/KPO to financial institutions and airlines. Adventity was established in 2003 and had operations in:
- The U.S.
- India
- UAE.
Adventity provided mortgage BPS services to its financial institution clients; these services were focused on mortgage sub-processes in managing data for the loans. Over time, Sutherland expanded the range of processes to the entire range of mortgage processes, excluding sales and default management processes.
Sutherland has built its big data capabilities to expand its offerings to M&L clients. In 2016 it acquired Nuevora, a big data analytics, and applications vendor. The acquisition allowed Sutherland to help clients convert data into predictive and prescriptive insights. In the past two years, Sutherland has expanded and deepened three key areas:
- Lending to High Net Worth clients: Interaction with these clients must be precise and supportive. Sutherland supports clients in their customer interaction efforts for M&L services
- Mortgage insurance: providing support for the digital transformation of these highly manual processes
- Default management: Sutherland is building capabilities in this area to support an anticipated industry-wide increase in these activities as interest rates increase.
