The Financial Services industry is perhaps the most dynamic in the world - but this dynamism means that technology systems have to deliver more: they must be flexible enough to bring complex new products to market ever more rapidly, but be stable enough to provide extreme reliability.
New trading platforms, new requirements to exchange electronic messaging with counterparties and new reporting needs all put heavy demands on legacy platforms. Technology departments may struggle to deliver all these requirements simultaneously using in-house resources alone.
Equally, if you're just starting up in financial services, you may be used to having a large IT department to deliver projects and may find it difficult to build a similar capability for your new venture.
Or, if you're running a large IT team within a major FS company, you may struggle to deliver fast enough to match more nimble rivals; or you may need to find ways of reusing and extending the life of existing hardware and systems, while avoiding lock-in to proprietary solutions.
