Financial services IT infrastructure overview

Infrastructure enables the delivery of business value
Becoming an On Demand Business—a business capable of sustained, continuous innovation—requires change across multiple areas. A company must be able to transform its business model and processes in order to create an environment where innovation becomes the norm.

At the same time, a company must be able to develop, evolve and maintain an infrastructure that meets the needs of the new business model, but has the flexibility to support the continuing business evolution in response to customer needs. In other words, the infrastructure must enable the delivery of business value—now and in the future.
