Abstract
This Financial Insights report presents a comprehensive view of the IT trends,
challenges, and opportunities that will shape the U.S. securities and
investments industry in 2008. From reporting on the general health of the
industry, zeroing in on the fastest-growing geographic segments and top
technology buyers, to key IT budget and industry metrics, this guide gives
securities and investments firms and vendors a bird' s-eye view of everything
they need to know to build a go-to-market plan for the coming year. With its
unique blend of key historical data and top initiatives for 2008, this document
is an essential tool for sales territory planning, resource allocation, and
vertical market strategy refinement.
"Market turmoil is causing near-term slowdown in IT spending, but not all
securities and investments firm are feeling the pinch. We expect many IT
initiatives to continue, but on a more selective basis at sell-side firms,
while efforts will remain on course in the buy-side community." - Sean O' Dowd,
senior analyst, Securities and Investments, Financial Insights
