Delivering IT as a Service with Speed and Efficiency
Companies in the financial services industry are faced with numerous and increasing challenges that impact their IT operations and technology strategy, not the least of which are federal reform and regulatory oversight.

According to Research from Enterprise Management Associates:
"Financial Services data centers have profited hugely from automation – in areas such as reducing the costs of manual operations and freeing up resources for strategic projects, as well as improving security, minimizing risk and adapting to a rapid rate of business and technology change. In financial services enterprises, typical reductions can approach 20 FTEs in staffing costs, or more than $1,400,000 in annual operational expense. And Mean-Time-To-Repair for critical application issues shows a better than 50% improvement over less automated environments.”
