3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Outsourcing Trends in the FS Industry
Financial Services (FS) accounts for almost a third of all offshore services,
The FS industry is outsourced and captive
the largest user of ITO and BPO still represent the bulk of the outsourcing activity, but the frequency and
offshore services and awareness of KPO opportunities within FS companies is growing
usage continues to While overall offshoring and outsourcing has continued to grow, BPO outsourcing has
grow faltered in last 2-3 years – for example, Financial services companies put more BPO
deals on hold in 2009 than any other sector (Morrison Foerster, 2010)
Average size of outsourcing transactions has declined in last 3 years
Most FS companies now maintain a ‘multi-sourcing’ approach to ITO and BPO
Operating model Existing captive centres continue to be exploited by those that have kept them but
diversification several high profile examples of banks exiting the captive market (Citi, UBS)
continues but overall Few new captives expected – FS companies preferring to outsource or co-develop
trend away from Centres of Excellence (CoE) with 3rd parties (e.g. Barcap in Kiev)
captives Noticeable examples of banks in-sourcing tasks in both BPO and ITO space – DB from
HCL, Barclays from Accenture - point to continued dissatisfaction with outsourcing services
For FS, India is still the dominant destination, particularly for ITO services, however,
Increased location Eastern Europe has become increasingly prevalent for ITO and BPO
diversification, Significant increase in use of nearshore sites in US (Florida, Carolina, Texas) and UK (N.
especially to Ireland, Scotland) for processes considered high value or high risk in the BPO and ITO
nearshore space, or where data protection regulation prevents full offshoring
Emerging offshore centres in China, SE Asia, S America and Africa expected to play
more significant role in next 3-5 years as arbitrage is eroded by inflation for traditional sites

5. WHAT: Overall Growth in BPO, ITO and KPO services
FS companies have continued to outsource and offshore throughout the downturn though
at a slower rate than in previous years, mirroring the broader outsourcing market

7. WHAT: ITO Trends in Financial Services
ITO remains a key cost lever for FS but consolidation and optimisation has driven much of
recent activity
Change in the use of nearshore and offshore
capability for the FS Sector, 2009 Demand for IT outsourcing and offshoring has remained strong and is
growing for the FS industry across all major Western European
markets
ADM e.g. JP Morgan increased outsourcing to India by 25% to
$400mil p.a.
Barclays – creation of IT CoE in Kiev, Ukraine
Use of nearshore locations has increased for higher value IT tasks
Growth of IT delivery centres in low cost US locations e.g.
Texas, Florida and Virginia
End User Mgt
Citi – expansion of Belfast (N. Ireland) delivery centre
Basic services such as call centre and remote infrastructure
management offshoring are reaching saturation
Infrastructure High level of vendor consolidation to top tier Indian players by FS
institutions in order to:
Reduce costs by leveraging scale while maintaining service
quality
Mitigate risk / exposure to small vendors
e.g. Citi RightSourcing preferred vendor program

8. WHAT: Future Trends in ITO
Infrastructure: Cloud computing as next wave of Infrastructure sourcing – removing
the assets from the institutions
ADM: Moving up the value chain for AD – Business requirements definition and
design offshoring and outsourcing
Service Management: New standards and service models for ITO where current
models are perceived as failing

9. WHAT: BPO Trends in Financial Services
Overall BPO slowed in the FS sector, but new opportunities in FS specific process
offshoring are catching up with the more traditional BPO functions
BPO Adoption* by Functional Area in FS
Industry-wide, post 2008 the market for offshoring BPO has
struggled. For 2009, the BPO market’s total contract value
60%
fell 38% to $18.5 bn, its lowest level since 2001 (TPI, 2009)
50% Financial services companies put more BPO deals on hold
in 2009 than any other sector (Morrison Foerster, 2010)
38%
36%
However, growth is forecast to resume from 2010 onwards -
the BPO market is forecast to hit $450bn by 2012 (Nelson-
Hall,2009)
As organisational confidence grows ‘higher value’ functions
are increasingly being considered for outsourcing /
offshoring (Everest), e.g.
4%
Performance management for HRO
Management reporting and analysis for F&A
FS specific processes were increasingly targeted as an
offshoring opportunity by major players across this period
*Note: % of respondents in the survey who outsource some or all of this function

10. WHAT: Future Trends in BPO
BPO - FS Specific
Expansion into Front & Middle Office functions
Commercialising Back Office processing engines – major banks as service providers
Move back onshore for failing functions – potentially some institutional client service
BPO – Generic
Procurement outsourcing growth - separation of Strategic Sourcing and Fulfilment functions
Accessing improved ERP system capabilities in the marketplace
F&A - management reporting and analysis

11. WHAT: KPO Trends in Financial Services
The Research, Analytics and Market Data Management market is still immature but this
immaturity presents growth opportunities for FS companies

12. WHAT: Future Trends in KPO
Diversification of research services - Product structuring, end-to-end research
production
Growth of legal offshoring for FS
KPO is BPO - most KPO processes become integrated into wider BPO capabilities,
not viewed as distinct discipline
Major BPO outsourcers cannibalise KPO specialists

‘More of the Same’ - Outsourcing and offshoring growth 2008-10 has been along more

15. HOW: ‘Invisible’ Sourcing – Software Houses in ADM
In response to pressures on headcount and IT development budgets, IT divisions are relying
increasingly on development and support services by 3rd party software houses
Cause Effect
FS IT divisions have been set Use of 3rd party software houses to develop and
aggressive overall headcount support own product – for trading platforms and
reductions over the last 2-3 years specialised products it is more difficult to source
staff on the open market or via basic outsource
Increased scrutiny of IT consulting and providers
development spend Leads to creep in discretionary software spend
(disguised in the short term by amortisation)
Tighter procurement controls IT divisions are unable to develop in-house
capabilities due to lead times and investment
Focus on short term cost reductions vs.
requirements
Long term capability development
Typical vendors for Capital Markets banks would
Perceived risk of giving include:
bespoke/specialist software products to FS-specific packaged software vendors
generic outsourcers (MiSys, SunGard)

Few examples of ground breaking
changes in the BPO space 2008-10;
FS institutions have, as with ITO,

continued to leverage existing models
in trusted locations
Those who already have offshore

delivery centres have been able to
leverage those investments e.g.
Citi has added Procurement / P2P

functions to its offshore F&A centre
in Eastern Europe

HOW: Operating Model for KPO areas
Prevalent FS Sourcing Operating Models
Captives Dedicated Labour Out -Tasking Managed Service Transformational Commercialise
Service Centre Augmentation Outsource Assets
KPO is the smallest and least mature
area of outsourcing but is growing in
`cv
popularity as banks try to reduce the
Research and
Analytics cost of their research functions in an
effort to reduce cost to service clients
UBS has led the way in building an
offshore analytics function in its Indian
Market Data delivery centre but has since spun the
function off to Cognizant
Small outsourcers have gradually
been acquired by larger players such
as Cognizant, TCS and GenPact
Given the nature of these functions
Growing area for capital KPO has ‘jumped’ a Given perceived high there is little immediate appetite for
markets banks for development stage – as the value nature of
provision of basic FTE counts involved are processes involved, it is
outsourcing anything more than basic
investor research to typically small, FS institutions unlikely banks will full tasks; ‘judgement-based tasks’ remain
support analysts, and have tended to either add into outsource research largely onshore with high cost analyst
also management of their existing captive centres services as this is seen resources
market data services or go directly to outsource as a differentiator
(library management, model
admin, subscriptions)

18. HOW: Captives in India
The longevity and effectiveness of the captive offshore centre model continues to generate debate
Operations in Indian Captive Delivery Centres (2007-09)
Captive centres continue to come
under pressure from large-scale
outsourcers, particularly the Tier 1
Indian players
Both Citi and UBS have disposed of
significant captive assets in the last 3
years
However, as the figure shows, many
companies have continued to
Source: Evalueserve – Captives in India, 2009 leverage their existing captive centres;
IT; most mature area of outsourcing therefore least change. Even so, more as a cost-effective method to
roles have been pushed into existing captives e.g. Deutsche Bank increase offshoring with low
BPO; activity least consistent – some banks have decided that outsourcers
investment (Deutsche Bank)
are more cost effective (e.g. Morgan Stanley HRO to Hewitt) but those with
to retain control on higher value
significant offshore delivery have increased offshore ratios (e.g. Citi F&A
functions (Citi)
and Procurement in Hungary)
to enable the realisation of process
efficiencies in onshore / offshore
KPO as the newest offering has shown most growth in captive services;
handoffs (BNP Paribas, Deutsche
Nervousness about outsourcing skills previously seen as core so
Bank )
have opted for building captives (e.g. Citi)
Poor outsourced service quality (e.g. Credit Suisse now manage
Irevna directly)
18 ©Elix-IRR Ltd
19. HOW: Future Trends
Future of ‘captive’ and dedicated service centre models uncertain but overall likely to
decrease (i.e. Few expected ‘new’ captives)
Trend to exit of captives/co-branding in IT
Commercialisation of Back Office processing captives for the large banks
Continued lack of convergence on single strategy
Service Management capability as a differentiator
For FS Back Office processing (onshore / offshore integration and streamlining)
For IT (multi vendor management for value)

21. WHERE: The Rise of Nearshoring
Secondary locations in home countries or locations in nearby countries with lower labour
and real estate costs
Nearshore site examples Rationale
USA
To maintain service quality and proximity of
New Jersey – multiple management for ‘higher touch’ or sensitive services
Colorado – Wells Fargo and processes benefitting from:
Florida – Citi, Deutsche Bank Language
Texas - Amex Culture
Canada - Citi, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Lower knowledge transfer costs and attrition
Stanley rates
UK Easy to ‘parachute in’ management
Citi has invested significantly in its Belfast centre to
Belfast (N. Ireland) - Citi take advantage of significant UK government
Dublin (ROI) - multiple subsidies provided, temporarily putting arbitrage on
Edinburgh – RBS, HBOS a par with medium cost offshore sites such as
Derby – Citi Prague
Birmingham – Deutsche Bank Major Indian vendors are now trying to enter this
Newcastle – Tesco Bank space, buying data centres and other sites in W.
Europe and US – the objective is to compete on
service with major outsourcers such as IBM,
Accenture and HP
21 ©Elix-IRR Ltd
22. WHERE: Emerging & Niche Delivery Centres
South America
Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama: Popular for BPO and also call centres for Spanish
language services
Chile, Colombia, Argentina; Spanish-language services to US and Spain (e.g. Citi
Delivery Centre in Colombia) - Chile in particular is viewed as a stable environment
without the hyperinflation issues previously seen in Argentina and Brazil
Uruguay – niche BPO provider for the banking industry in Montevideo
Brazil: Growing as an IT service provider, particularly Curitiba (‘Silicon Valley of
South America’) but the majority of services are still consumed by the domestic
market due to language issues
Africa and Middle East
South Africa is popular for BPO from the UK due to language and time zone (e.g.
Morgan Stanley asset management). Seen as the FS centre for Africa but has infra-
structure and security concerns
Egypt is the leading emerging outsourcing provider in Northern Africa
Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria are developing language specific offshoring capabilities
for the French market, largely in the contact centre space – (e.g. SocGen, BNPP)
Jordan has grown as an offshore centre for Middle Eastern / Arabic businesses – solid
ITO capabilities though limited talent pool and language constraints
22 ©Elix-IRR Ltd
23. WHERE: Future Trends
Nearshore growth (e.g. US/UK Tier 2 locations) to continue
Rise of emerging locations such in SE Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia) and N. Africa
(Egypt)as lower cost alternative to India and E. Europe
‘Double’ offshoring – Indian centres to offshore own operations to lower cost
