History

Part of Citi corporation (I-Flex Solutions)

iCorp Oversea Software Ltd. (“COSL”) was owned by CITIBANK in 1990 and later went on to be known as I-FLEX in the world market. After some time, it merged with another company, and a new company was formed, namely Citicorp Information Technologies Industries Ltd (“CITIL”). Rajesh Hukku was named to head CITIL[6][citation needed]. While COSL’s mandate was to serve Citicorp’s internal needs globally and be a cost center, CITIL’s mandate was to be profitable by serving not only Citicorp but the whole global financial software market. Largely known as I-FLEX, it was eventually renamed as Oracle Financial Services Software.

 

Early history

CITIL was started with a universal banking product named called MicroBanker (which became successful in some English speaking parts of Africa and other developing regions over the next 3–4 years) and the retail banking product Finware[citation needed]. In the mid-90s, the firm developed Flexcube (stylized FLEXCUBE) at its Bangalore Centre. After the launch of Flexcube, all of CITIL’s transnational banking products were brought under a common brand umbrella. Subsequently, the company’s name was changed to I-FLEX Solutions India Ltd.[7]

 

Oracle Corporation

Oracle Financial Services Software is located at Bangalore’s Bagmane Tech Park.

For US$593 million, Oracle bought Citigroup’s 41% share in I-FLEX solutions in August 2005. Subsequently, in March and April 2006, it acquired an additional 7.52%, and in mid-April 2006, it made an open-market purchase of 3.2%.

 

Oracle Financial Services stated on August 14, 2006, that it would pay $122.6 million for Mantas, a US-based anti-money laundering and compliance software company. A preferential share allocation to Oracle Corporation, the largest shareholder, allowed the business to help finance the deal.

 

Following an open offer price to minority shareholders, Oracle increased its ownership of I-FLEX to about 83% on January 12.

 

Oracle Financial Services Limited became the official name of the business on April 4, 2008, according to Oracle.

 

Chaitanya M. Kamat was appointed as managing director and CEO of Oracle Financial Services Software Limited on October 24, 2010, according to an announcement from Oracle. After 25 years of service, the departing CEO and MD, N.R.K. Raman, departed from these positions.

 

The Oracle Financial Services Global Business Unit (FSGBU) now includes Oracle Financial Services Software Limited as a significant component. Harinderjit (Sonny) Singh is the Vice President & Group Head of Oracle FSGBU Worldwide.

 

 

There are two primary business segments for Oracle Financial Services Software Limited. PrimeSourcing and the products division, formerly known as the Banking Products Division (BPD). Retail, corporate, and investment banking, funds management, trade, treasury, payments, lending, private wealth management, asset management, and business analytics are all services offered by the corporation. In the second half of 2008, the business undertook a rebranding initiative. The corporate website and Oracle’s website were merged as part of this. Following alignment with Oracle, a number of departments, services, and products were renamed to reflect the new brand.

 

The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process, exposure management, enterprise performance management, energy, and commodities trading compliance products were recently introduced by Oracle Financial Services.
