BFSI to be the Largest End-user Vertical

  • Banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) is one of the major end-user verticals experiencing significant change in technology adoption, mainly due to the conditions brought on by the pandemic and the evolving competitive landscape. IT spending in the sector is also increasing, according to a study by Flexera Software.
  • Financial organizations are increasingly outsourcing their processes and services to third parties. Banks can outsource everything from mailing campaigns to payment processing. Banks can only survive and attract customers with a robust and comprehensive in-house IT department or trusted outside partners.
  • The BFSI sector is also shifting towards the cloud, which presents new market opportunities. According to a recent survey by Google Cloud, in the United States, about 54% of the financial services companies using cloud strategy have their workloads fully deployed in the cloud.
  • Modern customers need more personalized and streamlined access to banks' services. The transition to omnichannel platforms, which provide seamless access for all devices, can be carried out by IT outsourcers. Moreover, such platforms facilitate real-time data collection and analysis so that financial institutions can improve customers' experience. Hence, such developments are driving IT outsourcing in the banks.
  • Overall, the BFSI sector's demand for IT outsourcing services will be fueled by the need for advanced cybersecurity, digital transformation, growing regulatory compliance, and innovative solutions to meet evolving customer expectations and industry trends.
