The financial services industry is confronted by concurrent disruptive forces: deregulation, globalization, intense competition, fluctuating asset values, rising customers expectations, increasing costs, operational complexity, and increasing investor expectations. Financial institutions are under constant demand to maintain growth by offering better products, managing diverse customer segment and delivering flexible customer service options; at the same time, the pressure to decrease costs and improve efficiency has never been greater.
