You often hear about the IT being unable to deliver, that they just don’t understand the business need, the importance of an outage, that we need it to work for trading, for my accounts etc.

But let’s spin it around for a second it’s a double edged sword, my daddy always taught me that you get what you pay for (that’s why I’ve just bought a new Meile washing machine – it’s somewhere around jupiter set to arrive next week).

IT will deliver what it can (with the right management), but we need to have a real debate.

Is our corporate strategy to beat the competition to take bank_a, show it how pricing, how risk analytics is really done? To get our share price, our capitalization to frankly offensive levels?

In doing so we need to invest in the IT, or are we dabbling our toes in the water?

No disrespect, but if we’re hear to dab our toes, spend a little, but save in the wrong ways, we can do that, but keep in mind, life’s too short for debates unnecessarily, I have needs for a Range Rover and a wedding to pay for.

Are we saying well we are growing, we want to grow, but we want to contain our costs?

Just consider that your strategy, the way you do business has consequences to your IT, to your service delivery, that we want to be the best at derivatives in the European market in price requires so many blades, a re-write of application code or another data center, is either a show stopper or a ‘cost of doing business’.
