Financial services include credit cards processing, loans (individual, corporate, property, education, automobile) , investments (mutual funds, fixed deposits, trading) and insurance among others. Financial services industry caters to a large segment of industries, and is one of the largest in the world with promising growth prospects.
Challenges
Even though the industry has been growing steadily, increased competition has forced its players to not just lower costs, but also offer better and more customized services. With issues like risk management, compliance and increased mergers and acquisitions (which lead to consolidation of disparate organizations), the focus is on increasing operational efficiencies.

| Customer engagement |
|
| With different competitors providing additional services at lower costs, a finance-based organization has to constantly innovate to offer better services, while ensuring low costs. It is only possible to retain and attract customers with differential services that take care of their concerns other than cost consideration. |
|
|
| |
| Integration of disparate infrastructures |
|
| Increased mergers and acquisitions have led to multiple technologies in resultant organizations. It is often difficult to integrate these technologies to provide a unified view of the customer information that can only be achieved when all components work seamlessly with each other. Thus, upgradation and integration of multiple technologies becomes cumbersome and expensive. |
|
|
| |
| Customer experience |
|
| As customer base grows, the IT infrastructure cannot cope up with communication volumes, leading to a decline in service quality, which is one of the most decisive factors for any customer to do business with an organization. If costs are services provided are the same, it all boils down to how special the customer feels when he/she is being served. A bad customer experience may lead to bad publicity, which stifles growth. |
|
|
| |
| Ad-hoc selling |
|
| Lack of ability to track customer habits and behavioral patterns results in ineffective up-selling and cross-selling of value-added services to potential prospects who may need them. A customer interaction management solution should be able to give meaningful geo-demographic data and analytics for management to define strategies for specific markets. |
