In recognition of the fact that technology will continue to redefine the shape of the securities industry, they stress on innovation and sustained investment in technology to remain ahead of competition. More so, their primary requirement was to roll out a mobile strategy that reflected their strong focus on customer centricity and user experience.

One clear demand by the client was a best of breed application with a compelling user experience to ensure large scale diffusion and use of the application.
