6. The financial market today
Momentum of significant discontinuity in the market due to changes in the political-
economic scenario that impacted the whole system, generating crisis and reducing
trust from the clients
The market crisis and the change of mentality imposed by the system offer, however,
big opportunities that can create value
THE MARKET
From Business Process Outsourcing to Business Process Utility6
Need to develop innovative customer loyalty techniques
Need to revise their own rating systems because of inadequate internal ones and not
trustful external agency (ex. Lehman classified as AAA+)
Implement prompt reply skills to all changes imposed by the market (ex. compliance
with new regulations etc.)
Implement efficient sourcing models to reduce costs and gain operational flexibility

7. BPO Market Trend in Financial Services
According to Gartner (Dataquest Insight: BPO Trends in Financial Services, 2008), the market of
BPO Financial Services will grow in the next years with a CAGR of 10.5% from 2007 to 2012,
reaching a total of $55.9 billion in expenses by 2012. This growth is mainly due to reduction costs
strategies implemented by the institutions to deal with the recent financial crisis (IT expenses – if
not for the components that guarantee costs reduction – will decrease, while the off shoring
services will see a fast acceleration). In terms of evolution of BPO services provided, we have
recently seen the establishment of the new model known as the BPU (Business Process Utility).

In the area of service delivery, in the following years, we will see an evolution from the Business
Process Outsourcing towards the Business Process Utility that is, as stated by Gartner, a way to
deliver slim, automated services. In the “Four Steps for BPO Success”, Gartner show the trend
these services will have in the next few years:

12. EngO mission
EngO was born by the desire of Engineering Group of challenging the right mix of
capacity for "listening to the customer" with operational powers and set of
methodologies, asset and experiences.
In the context of the model of services provision, in the coming years we will see the
development of Business Process Outsourcing into the Business Process Utility that
is in fact, as defined by Gartner, a way of providing services leaner, automated.

is in fact, as defined by Gartner, a way of providing services leaner, automated.
The “Human Intensive” activities are physiologically migrating to IT transactions:
unstructured information (typical of the paper contents) become in Engo structured
information in a position to be directly drawn up by information systems. Engo
accompanies its partners in this path with the credibility of being part of one of the
main actors ICT.
13. Improve efficiency of Back Office structures
The application of the EngO offer, identified by projects to increase efficiency of the financial
intermediaries Back Office operational structures, is based on the following stages: process
assessment and gap analysis, activity reengineering (Consulting), definition and implementation of
new operational model (Innovation), outsourcing to EngO structures (BPO).

18. Process Repository and Work List
Process Repository
Work list
The Organizational Repository is characterized from a structure
based on the catalogue of the business processes (taxonomy), that
it constitutes the infrastructure on which the characterizing mappings
are placed the operativity of the nets, of the offices center them and
of the outsourcer in an univocal context, homogenous and
integrated.
From Business Process Outsourcing to Business Process Utility18
Work list (the operating guides) for the operators, bring back the description of
every single activity member the operating procedures in which the Service is
articulated. Inside of every operating guide the following elements are indicated at
least:
• the single elementary steps that compose every activity and the relative
modalities of execution;
• the reference to the line controls that must be carried out by the operators;
• the activities to undertake to forehead of anomalies;
• the activities for which an explicit authorization from the Customer is
previewed.
19. Control system
• Leaving from the risk analysis, connected to the activity of the Finance, EngO an
inner control system has elaborated on the activities of the Service that can be
reviewed for the specific requirements of the Customers, the system is such that:
– it assures an effective management of the operativity and of the connected risks, defining
political and appropriate procedures of control;
– it establishes effective communication channels to the aim to assure that all the staff is
Control system
From Business Process Outsourcing to Business Process Utility19
– it establishes effective communication channels to the aim to assure that all the staff is
to acquaintance of the policies and the relative procedures to own tasks and
responsibility;
– it defines the informative flows faces to assure to the full Customer acquaintance and
governance of the operating procedures object of the Service.
• The control system previews the institution of operational controls on line that
will come executed from the operators of the supplier in order to control the
correctness than operated.
• Such controls will be in appropriate controls card’s
21. This activity has as objective the definition of reference metrics for
every entity defined in the flow chart.
The metrics will be extracted from the metric’s catalogue defined
inside of the EngO® Method and will be applied to the maximum level
of detail previewed in the flow.

22. This activity has as objective the measurement of the timing of working
for every entity defined in the flow chart. The reference benchmarks
will be found and applied to the maximum level of detail previewed in
the flow.
Measurements
Having decomposed every process in the macroactivities/activity composes that it concurs a
measurement of detail of the single entities that takes part to the realization of the same process. It will
have to be given evidence of the dependencies from the used systems

Benchmarks
The reference benchmarks will be those now found for each process.
In the absence of a reference model should be created one base of measurements on significant volumes :
- Last month
- Last quarter
- Last half-year
- Last year
23. This activity has as objective the definition of the model of monitoring of
the process represented from the flow chart.
The model could be defined at the level of single entity or at the level of
flow in its complex and its realization it previews multiple activities.
Targets

Delivery Model
The Delivery Model embraced by EngO will be a “lean” model, made of the following:
1. A Governance structure (to monitor and control processing)
2. An Operational Brain structure (to fraction different process phases, and for dispatching activities
towards external factories)
3. A net made up of partners and third parties (for execution of process micro activities)
