NEW YORK | MUMBAI, December 07, 2021: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 532540, NSE: TCS) has been named a large player in Forrester Now Tech: Digital Wealth Management Platforms, Q4 2021[1].

The report profiles 18 wealth management platform providers based on their market presence and functionality. The report notes that TCS BaNCS’ most significant geographic presence by revenue is across North America, Europe, Middle East, and Africa, and its vertical market focus spans private banking, wealth, and asset management.

Further, TCS was recognized in the financial services specialist functionality segment. According to the report, “These firms target the needs of large ‘one-stop shop’ financial services firms that offer wealth management services alongside an array of banking and insurance products. These vendors emphasize how their core systems are integrated to provide the customer (and advisor) with a single view of their financial picture.”

“As the focus for wealth managers shifts to financial wellness, the industry is moving towards offering hybrid and holistic advice catering to a broader customer segment – from Gen Z seeking long term investment options for the first time to mass affluent and to HNI segments. These trends are fueling innovation driven by data, digital technologies, and cloud,” said R Vivekanand, Co-Head, TCS Financial Solutions. “We believe this recognition in the Forrester Now Tech report comes as a validation of our commitment to developing and implementing best-of-breed solutions at scale for wealth and asset management, tailored to facilitate informed decision making and meet customer demands and regulatory compliance.”
