Overview

 Coforge has been a strategic partner to this global wealth management leader for over 25 years, playing a pivotal role in building and transforming their technology landscape. Over the last 8+ years, Coforge has collaborated with the client to develop a Next-Gen Wealth Management Platform, moving from a legacy, iterative development model to a SaaS-based, API-driven, Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) execution approach.
