The Billion Dollar Opportunity in the Back Office Part II

We all know Financial Services is facing a crossroads. $130+ Billion of Venture Capital investment in FinTech since 2010 knows it. Big banks who initially scoffed when financial technology start-ups set out to reinvent their business and have now shifted into a new deal-making phase know. To make this point, there were 51 acquisitions or IPOS of FinTech firms in deals worth $1.1 billion in 2016.

Many of these investments were made to cut costs, improve quality and achieve a digital transformation in Financial Services. But, one could argue these strategic moves and investments will also portend who wins and who loses. Goldman Sachs estimates the revenue in play the industry innovates “at the heart” of the industry is worth $4.7 trillion.
