As a large multinational bank that must adapt to continued volatility and competitive market conditions, CA-CIB is embarking on a plan to make part of their operations more cost effective and flexible, while seeking continuous improvement and productivity in these operations.  CA-CIB chose to partner with Genpact in this effort, whose IT capabilities are combined with analytics and Smart Enterprise Processes (SEP^SM), its uniquely scientific approach to making processes more effective to drive business impact.
