Farzine Fazel comments, "Our strong foundations, combined with a current market climate of increasing demand for development and implementation of multi-year, complex projects, have led us to set up a dedicated line of business - sourcing offerings. This sits alongside our established consulting and transformation lines of business."

The sourcing offerings business will provide an integrated approach, combining client access, Capco expertise and client assets in an on shore / near shore / off shore continuum, that fully leverages Capco's delivery capabilities - including Capco's recently established Bratislava-based near shore facility.

Farzine Fazel elaborates, "Capco's sourcing offerings will provide the basis for ever greater levels of client trust, positioning us to transform implementation projects into multi-year sourcing engagements, delivering further enhanced support and value to our clients. The days of one approach fits all sourcing are long gone. Today, you need to provide a spectrum of experience and expertise that can be configured quickly, and at best cost, to closely reflect client needs and deliver results at pace. This is precisely what we will be able to do through our sourcing offerings. I look forward to working with a first class team to deliver against client expectations and build the Capco business in this evolving area."

European CEO Peter Schurau adds, "Farzine's leadership of Capco's sourcing offerings will provide the bridge between our consulting and transformation offerings. It will also create further opportunities to engage with the bandwidth and expertise of our parent company, FIS, as and when clients require, as well as providing clients flexibility to select the sourcing models that most closely fit their developing needs. And that's exactly what we are now configured to provide."
