Overview of the global back office outsourcing market in the financial services sector
Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global back office outsourcing market in the financial services sector to grow at a CAGR of around 7% by 2020. Back office outsourcing is a cost-effective arrangement that helps organizations to save up to 30% of its operational costs. This cost efficiency is achieved because the outsourcing companies help enterprises to manage routine responsibilities at very minimal costs, which in turn, reduces their overhead liabilities. Back office outsourcing companies offer several benefits to the financial institutions such as access to specific domain knowledge, best practices, new ideas, and high-quality talent for data-related services. With such quality outsourcing services, the organizations are able to deliver projects in lesser time and at affordable prices.
According to this market research report, an interesting back office outsourcing trend gaining traction in the market is the increased adoption of cloud computing and virtualization solutions among financial institutions. By implementing these services, financial institutions can outsource their IT infrastructures at reduced costs. Virtualization enables centralized deployment and management of virtual desktop environments to enhance safety measures for desktop access and data sharing over standard network infrastructures. Many players such as Kotak Mahindra life Insurance and Reliance General Insurance, have adopted Vmware-based virtualization solutions to improve the efficiency of their data centers, which will, in turn, reduce their overall infrastructural costs.
