OVERVIEW

The financial services industry today faces the market challenge of having to reduce operational costs to remain competitive, to quickly deliver new products and services, and to cater to regulatory compliance with the spirit of law. The conflicting dichotomy of priorities – the pressing need to increase IT investment on the one hand and at the same time to scale down costs on the other – has led capital markets firms to focus on more securities process automation. In the capital markets as a whole, the current trend is to improve the operational efficiency of front, middle and back offices by consolidating applications, centralizing operations and data management, and leveraging the potential of web technologies.
