Outsource your total technology to an industry specialist
An all-encompassing service with Finance Forward 365 to manage, govern and secure all your total technology needs
Confidence with a Specialist Managed Service Provider
Financial Services is a highly information-intensive industry and subject to tight regulations. Coupled with demanding end users, complex trading systems, global time zones and high amounts of data, leading technology needs to be delivered to the highest standards. Whether a new start-up or mid-size established firm, there is a very limited business case for running the IT internally as it is expensive, risky and distracts you from your core business.
If you do manage technology internally, the focus should be on the areas which are unique and enable you to differentiate from the competition, such as digital or data analytics. The rest of the core technology IT and cyber security should be outsourced to a specialist Managed Service Provider (MSP) which is totally tailored to your specifical type of business. You need to keep one step ahead of industry technology while you focus on growing your core business.

However, with the accelerated pace of technology change it means that financial firms are more than ever looking to specialist vendors who lead with their industry experience to solve their technology challenges.
