Financial Services
Global economic pressures, stricter legislation and market regulation, increased competition through customer service, shift in resource models. Financial services companies are facing pressure and change from a variety of angles as they strive to increase revenue, reduce costs and manage compliance.
Through multi-channel banking, retail banks strive to retain customers and deliver better service, but this requires strong data security and rationalized back offices. Investment banks are reliant upon latency sensitive data applications, voice and video to support the asset trading process from pre-trade data to post-trade settlement. Insurers who face increased commoditization and competition from price comparison sites continually look to make processes more efficient despite the prevalence of inefficient legacy IT systems.
To access all the information and services you need to operate in today’s financial services markets you need global connectivity, and infrastructure on which to securely host your information assets whether these are key business applications or customer information.
And of course you need this to be secure.
