Challenges & Opportunities
Increased compliance pressures: Regulations like Dodd-Frank, Cost Basis, Volcker Rule and Basel III are upending business models. Key differentiators that will help you master the forces of change are prudent liquidity management and optimal capital allocation to drive ROI and equity.
Customer relationship transformation: Serving highly dynamic clients, brokerages are witnessing rapid changes in the way they interact and engage with their customer segments. Investing in client-facing collaboration technologies of the future is being looked at as imperative, with a focus on multi-channel integration to deliver a consistent client experience.

How Infosys Delivers Business Value
Infosys' Capital Markets Practice engages across the institutional, retail and infrastructure sectors, with significant buyside and sellside sub-sector expertise. We are a collaborative, trusted transformation and technology partner for our large-cap clients who often operate in multiple sectors. At the same time, we bring highly relevant and specialized industry knowledge and capabilities to our mid-cap and boutique clients who focus on one or two sub-sectors. We deliver measurable business value in three ways:
Business Transformation: When you partner with Infosys’ Capital Markets Practice, you get an end-to-end capability that straddles consulting, implementation and support. We can work closely with your company to plan, implement and sustain your technology footprint — from legacy modernization, infrastructure management, application development and maintenance, to re-engineering, enterprise services, enterprise resource planning, and cloud computing. We also deploy our proprietary frameworks to clearly identify the impact of a transformative engagement on revenue opportunities and higher profitability.
Accelerating Innovation: With solutions in pervasive computing, digital engagement and mobility, we are geared to help you tap into the next wave of business opportunities in social media and new commerce. By leveraging intellectual property from our Centers of Excellence for Convergence, Computing and Business Intelligence, we can quickly customize your solutions and give you the technology prowess to break into new markets faster.
Efficient Operations: We reduce operational cost and complexity with our flexible models and reusable assets, giving you more scale and productivity with reduced staff levels. We have partnered with clients to create best-in-class efficiencies in areas like trading and operations development, maintenance and support, data security, and reference data management.
