These are exciting but tumultuous times for business. Ubiquitous digitization is giving way to fragmented value chains across industries. New technologies, new consumer expectations, new competitors and new regulations are challenging established business advantages on an ongoing basis. In this environment, enterprises must innovate continually to create value in order to enjoy sustained success.
The Infosys Finacle Client Innovation Awards program recognizes and celebrates the best of such innovations by clients around the world. These innovations have been carefully chosen for their impact on banking products and services, customer journeys, processes, distribution channels, and business models leading to additional revenue and profit for their respective banks.
