To succeed in this environment,
investment banks will have to negotiate a
challenging landscape.
One important concern for investment
banks is that the IT development required
to address regulatory concerns may
have ‘crowded out’ other important,
forward-looking technology investment.
Clients, for example, value web portals
and electronic trading across various
products, but investment banking
is lagging behind other industries in
integrating electronic channels.
At many investment banks, product systems are
older, custom-developed, and focused on
single products, making cross-product
development in high-demand areas such
as risk or collateral management complex
and expensive.
