Our Solution

Changing industry dynamics, competitive pressures, regulatory compliances, demanding customers, and business partners are increasingly straining IT budgets. This, while business continues to expect the highest level of quality for their systems. Add the Internet of Things (IoT) to the mix—IoT is shaping how organizations interact with their customers, partners, and employees—and you have the perfect impetus for wealth management institutions to become more agile and flexible for uninterrupted growth while ensuring compliance. The success of agile environments necessitates foolproof testing within shorter timeframes. To succeed in such environments, wealth management institutions need end-to-end testing solutions to mitigate business risks and costs.

Coforge has proven experience of over 16 years in servicing wealth management institutions. Our dedicated wealth management practice has over 5,000 person years of solutions delivery experience.

Wealth Management Business Drivers

Testing Imperatives

Our integrated test accelerators portfolio comprises an effort optimizing tool, ROI analyzer, process maturity facilitators, Web and mobile automation scorecards and frameworks, an orthogonal arrays-based test coverage maximizing tool, risk-based testing, analytics-driven monitoring and continuous improvement framework, and cloud-enabled mobile testing lab. This helps us to offer enhanced test coverage and reduce overall testing cycle time—resulting in reduced total cost of ownership and time-to-market. Below are some examples:

• ASE2 T (Automation Simplified End-to-End Testing) Accelerator is user-friendly, excel data sheet, and VB scripting-based framework for optimum automation and quick ROI. It provides 16%-20% faster ROI than other frameworks.
• Risk-based testing utility helps in driving priority-based testing through score card-based risk analysis. It provides 10% reduction in production defect leakages.
• Multi-channel experience (advisors and customers) validation based on our proprietary wealth management digital maturity assessment toolkit.
  
  

  Our Domain-centric Testing COE Delivers Business Results

  We drive quality and productivity by offering comprehensive testing strategy and execution—both functional and non-functional—for all wealth management business processes, multi-channel transformation, and automation programs.

  For agile-driven projects, we define the testing focus early using risk-based analysis and implementation of governance principles of business outcomes including cost, quality, and time-to-market.
