Banking,
Financial Services
& Insurance
The Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance industries share common business opportunities and challenges including regulatory, fraud management, and retail productivity challenges in consumer and B2B markets. These industries tend to be conservative in adopting new technologies, including cloud computing and storage, historically. Market growth and profitability pressures are driving these companies to embrace more progressive approaches and modernize their long-standing infrastructures.
The adoption of cloud technology, advanced analytics, decision models, adaptive credit models, and predictive marketing and customer care ecosystems has been significantly influenced by credit cards and sub-prime lending. These factors have acted as catalysts for transformation and innovation within the industry across traditional banking and insurance as well.
AT OTSI, we recognize the shared challenges and opportunities across these sectors, and we are committed to assisting our clients in addressing them through our cutting-edge solutions and expertise while maintaining the highest security standards to thwart cyber-threats.
Through our experience from partnering with some of the world’s leading banks and financial institutions, we are able to deliver a comprehensive range of services and solutions.
