The client wanted to expand into Europe in the online brokerage space. One of the restrictions was to do the same with minimum time to market. As a result of this, they decided to purchase an existing online brokerage firm with a significant client base in Europe.

The client engaged Wipro to conduct an IT Due Diligence Study of the Online Brokerage Application at one of Europe’s leading brokerage house on its behalf.

Wipro’s role was to conduct the due diligence of the systems of the brokerage firm from the point of view of assessing the value of the same in the context of client’s desire for expansion into European markets.

The focus of the assessment was to assist the client in evaluating the application with respect to its existing functionality and also its ability and ease to accommodate:

	Additional functionality that may be required
	Additional countries/languages that the software may need to support
	Additional organizations that it may need to interface with
	Ease of maintenance
	Ability to scale up to higher user and transaction loads
