Middle office outsourcing refers to a solution involving third-party support for the post-trade and pre-settlement operations of a financial services company, investment bank, or hedge fund. Outsourcing focuses on non-core functions of an organization that are contracted out to save production costs and gain a competitive advantage. Typically, the middle office is the department in the organization that provides accurate data to the front office departments for transaction completion, and thereby merges the work between both ends. Reconciliation, reporting and billing, portfolio accounting, and staff augmentation are some of the middle office operations that financial institutions outsource using third parties to overcome workflow disruptions and prevent incorrect reporting. Through effective risk management and transaction execution, middle office outsourcing helps in generating indirect revenues. Among the numerous benefits of outsourcing, middle offices include improved customer satisfaction and services, reduced overhead costs, and enhanced operational efficiency.
The rising need for infrastructure upgradation in the finances of numerous end-use sectors due to increasing operational complexities is a significant factor driving the market. This can be attributed to the introduction of stringent rules related to reporting and transparency in financial organizations by several regulatory authorities across the globe. In line with this, the escalating demand for new technologies to enhance investment compliance management is providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, the growing number of small and medium-scale financial institutions with budget constraints to manage in-house operations is also acting as a significant growth-inducing factor for the market. The market is further fueled by the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the internet of things (IoT) to ensure regulatory report accuracy by automating data consumption and analysis and detecting error and compliance violations. Besides this, the increasing adoption of blockchain solutions on a trial basis in segments, such as collateral management and reconciliation by outsourcing service providers, is propelling the market. Furthermore, rapid digitization of the financial sector, along with growing finance awareness among individuals, are creating a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include the inflating disposable income levels, increasing competitions among the key players and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
