Commentary
Over the years, firms have built or acquired diverse legacy environments consisting of individual point solutions, multiple databases and reporting modules, and a “siloed” technology infrastructure supporting specific asset-classes, business segments or markets. These fragmented environments have become obstacles to meeting today’s challenges.
Firms need to aggregate data from multiple sources in order to achieve greater processing efficiencies, access enterprise-scale decision support information, bridge legacy technology gaps and provide sales reps and end-customers information to make financial decisions based on a complete view of their portfolios.
