Key Findings & Highlights:

TCS started in RDM BPO services in 2002 with Deutsche Bank (DB), which wanted to consolidate multiple credit and risk management systems in order to manage counterparty risk better. DB was unable to aggregate counterparty exposure across 15 internal systems used by DB in various lines of business. TCS consolidated platforms and risk metrics to create a single point of view for counterparty exposure. Over time, TCS has expanded the relationship to include a broad range of securities, corporate actions, exchange traded derivatives processing, and asset servicing.
