The report also named TCS as a market leader as well as a key service provider in the region.

Specifically on TCS, the report noted “After entering the China market, TCS secured a big deal every year - Huaxia Bank in 2005, Bank of China in 2006, and Guangdong Rural Credit Union in 2007. Solutions provided by TCS focus on the middle and front ends, with the core banking system as the mainstay plus the systems of payment and liquidation, ATM, card and channel management.

Commenting on TCS’ strategy Jeanne Capachin, Research Vice-President for the Global Banking and Insurance practice said, “This region is poised for consolidation once the innovating banks complete the cycle of transformation and start harnessing technology benefits. TCS has built a strong momentum in the region and with strong reference clients their presence can only get stronger as a clear leader.”

N Ganapathy Subramaniam, President, TCS Financial Solutions said “Our sustained and strategic focus on China has been reinforced by IDC’s ranking and reading of the market. Our customers around the world can continue to expect our suite of products and solutions to outperform and deliver superior performance.”
