Reducing IT Cost and Risk

Banks are striving to return to profitability and maintain cash-flow in the face of a historic economic slow-down. Furthermore, new guidelines and laws aimed at better future risk assessment and avoidance are going to increase the already heavy regulatory burden on banks. All this means that IT departments of banks will have both risk management and cost reduction at the top of their agendas.


To deliver on both goals, IT leaders have to be on top of their processes, products and applications. Unfortunately, their application landscapes are often very large and dominated by numerous complex IT systems. Systematic inventorization supported by implemented management and risk processes are the only tools that overcome these challenges and so arrive at the point of being able to assess risk soundly and deliver cost-cutting responsibly and with minimum impact to strategic goals.
