TowerGroup Take-Aways

TowerGroup calls on both IT and line-of-business management to recognize that all technology stakeholders in a firm should have a structured forum where ideas and opinions can be shared.

According to survey respondents, the most important factor influencing technology decisions in the securities and investments industry is return on investment, but this needs to be balanced with cost and integration effort.

Survey results indicating that most development is being done in-house onshore are inconclusive, suggesting a lack of internal communication.

TowerGroup believes that escalating costs and diminishing budgets will demand enterprise IT governance structures to facilitate the acquisition of technology necessary to survive and grow the franchise.
