Introduction

Globally, BFSI is the largest vertical constituting 22-26% of the total share of ITO spend. Europe remained the largest source geography in terms of the number of BFSI IT outsourcing transactions in 2014, with 54% of the transactions sourced from this region.

The European banking and capital markets industry is undergoing an evolution. Despite positive outlook in Europe, BFS firms are still holding onto a recession mentality as they continue to operate in an uncertain regulatory environment. Firms have cost reduction and efficiency improvement on top of their agenda. Demand for AO services is the highest in United Kingdom and is on the rise in the Nordics and a few parts of Continental Europe. Firms are moving towards digitization, which constitutes a majority of their IT investments. Service provider landscape in Europe has been dominated by large-sized providers and is witnessing an emergence of mid-sized regional players with expertise in niche segments. Service providers in Europe are investing in increasing their delivery footprint in the region and building portfolio of offerings in areas such as risk & regulatory compliance, payments, mobility, big data, social media, and cloud. In order to succeed in the market, it is essential for service providers to understand specific challenges in the market environment as well as buyers’ preferences and devise an effective approach.

In this research, we analyzed the current trends and the future outlook for large, multi-year application outsourcing relationships for the European banking and capital markets sector. We have assessed 20 banking AO service providers and 18 capital markets AO providers in Europe, for their capabilities in providing these services in the region.
