Infosys Finacle on Accelerating a Modular Digital Wealth Management Offering
The wealth management industry must, many believe, play catch up. If players in the industry are to both survive and thrive, they require front-to-back digitisation to meet customer expectations, regulatory demands, enhance staff efficiency and satisfaction, and to improve cost efficiencies and boost revenues. Importantly, they need to prepare for competition from new entrants, from smaller FinTechs to Big Techs entering some of their market niches. Jagdish Joshi, Principal Consultant of Finacle Wealth Management Solution for Infosys Finacle gave his insights to the front-end world of empowered digital financial advisory and how Finacle can also provide the robust digital core wealth management engine for mid and back-office operations.
