INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY THAT POWERS TRANSFORMATION
Today, the underlying tech stacks at asset management firms can either help or hinder expansion into new asset classes, finding organic and inorganic growth opportunities & achieving target operating models. There is no in-between.
The Way Forward: six tech forces driving transformation.
We’re on the cusp of seismic change—with tech that's reshaping our lives and the way we do business. From GenAI to cloud, these shifts create a future of unknowns but also opportunities. Explore our vision for the next era of innovation.
We were able to decommission more than 60 applications, which is quite huge for an asset manager, and we are today really in a situation where we can grow very quickly with a limited impact from an IT perspective. So, we are where we wanted to be.
