Banking on Secure and Efficient IT Solutions

The financial services market is diverse covering merchant and commercial banking, retail banking to asset finance organisation, from private equity to insurance sectors. In any of these organisations, the technical needs are quite demanding, broad in expectations and have to fit the business and compliance policies.

Data accuracy, integrity and speed of access from across different system (Mainframes to computer clusters, Wintel to proprietary water cooled Unix systems) is a typical expectation of any desktop computing device to connect to. System failures and delays result in potentially damaging reputations, security risk exposure and non-compliance, not to mention excessive support overhead.

Therefore IT is critical and has to be robust and consistent.
