In the United States,
Sarbanes-Oxley and the Patriot Act have come to symbolize a rapidly changing
financial landscape. In Europe it’s Basel II. In Japan, it’s the evolving
Commercial Code.
Meanwhile, the challenge of growth, the race among global financial
institutions to keep up with new technology, and the struggle to stay
competitive, all weigh heavily on global capital markets and the investment
banking industries.
The rapidly changing global marketplace and evolving regulatory and technology
environment demand that financial services companies adapt. Many are investing
in end-to-end solutions to meet customer requirements. Others are introducing
innovative new products and services, streamlining operations.
One thing is clear, the global capital markets and the investment banking
industries are challenged with building new infrastructures, implementing new
business models, and reforming existing systems.
The complexity of systems integrations, the impact of emerging technologies,
the ever-changing regulatory environment, and the inherent change-resistant
organization isn’t exactly making things easy on management.
