Middle office outsourcing refers to a solution involving third-party support for the post-trade and pre-settlement operations of a financial services company, investment bank, or hedge fund. Outsourcing focuses on non-core functions of an organization that are contracted out to save production costs and gain a competitive advantage. Typically, the middle office is the department in the organization that provides accurate data to the front office departments for transaction completion, and thereby merges the work between both ends. Reconciliation, reporting and billing, portfolio accounting, and staff augmentation are some of the middle office operations that financial institutions outsource using third parties to overcome workflow disruptions and prevent incorrect reporting. Through effective risk management and transaction execution, middle office outsourcing helps in generating indirect revenues. Among the numerous benefits of outsourcing, middle offices include improved customer satisfaction and services, reduced overhead costs, and enhanced operational efficiency.
