ICT investment trends in retail banks
Summary
survey of 127 retail banks suggests that ICT budgets are set to grow more than in 2014-15 in both absolute and percentage terms, as they tackle more “change the bank” rather than “run the bank” initiatives.
Key Findings
- The spiraling cost and inefficiency of legacy technology has become unacceptable amid changing consumer behavior, declining revenues, new regulation and the onslaught of non-bank competition, driving massive transformational investments in a wide variety of digital technologies.
- Overall budgetary allocations by category are broadly replicated from 2015 to 2016, with the exception of a 1% uplift in hardware spend concentrated on security, as banks tackle the growing incidences of cybercrime and seek to re-affirm their reputations as trusted, secure providers.
- Network and Conferencing services dominate telecommunications budgets, as banks use video conferencing to conduct more international business with lower transportation and hotel costs.
