Investment managers over the past five years have not found lucrative returns in traditional products and geographies, so they have been forced to invest globally, and heavily leverage derivatives and other sophisticated financial strategies and products to manage, mitigate and hedge against risk. Hedge funds and alternative asset management products have become mainstream. Decision windows are shortening, and opportunities for profits are being pressed by razor thin margins. Never before has technology, in particular IT and IT Infrastructure, been as critical to the business of making money in financial markets. It is becoming impossible for many firms to determine where IT ?ends? and the business ?begins? ? the infrastructure is becoming the business.
Never has pressure been greater to make money on Wall Street, and IT that is optimized to the business requirements is a requirement for survival.
