Leveraging Alternative Sourcing Models To Reduce Costs & Enhance Scalability

Day 1, February 24th:

Two central features of our age – the rise of globalisation and the dominance of the internet – are conspiring to transform the way financial institutions access and pay for IT resources. Whether it’s the emergence of utilitystyle cloud computing models – enabling companies to ‘plug-in’ to distant compute resources via the internet – or the increasing maturity of software development outsourcing firms, you’ve never had so much choice about how (and where) you pay for IT.

But how can you make sense of all the choices that are available to you? Is off-shoring really cost-effective – or are there hidden costs to take into account? What about the security concerns connected with cloud computing and Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) – are these really appropriate models for the capital markets?

Attending the Alternative Sourcing day at TradeTech Architecture 2009 will enable you to approach complex sourcing decisions with confidence, ensuring you seize opportunities and watch out for hidden dangers. Based around a series of in-depth case studies and topical panel discussions, you’re guaranteed to return to the office with profitable strategies for re-aligning your sourcing model for the long-term benefit of your business.
