CFOs of the financial services industrywere questioned in 2005: “One third ofthe survey respondents identified tech-nology as a top profit driver over thenext three to five years – especially thetechnology required to build strategicalliances with customers, partnersand other stakeholders.”

Especially private banks in the UKneed to differentiate themselves in themarket in order to satisfy their demand-ing customers and to foster their com-petitive advantages. Private banks facethe challenge to provide their advisorsnot with the most data, but with themost relevant information on thefinancial markets. To this end, theyincreasingly resort to specific content incertain areas of interest and customizedapplications, instead of a “one fits all”solution. In addition they aim to opti-mize workflows and to integrate Inter-net information for customers withIntranet information and financial ter-minals for advisors. This optimizes ser-vice and value add for the clients.

Customized markt data informationsystems are crucial to private banks fol-lowing this strategy. Personalization,ease of use, navigability of the web siteand the integration of bank-specificcontent and offerings are important forthe interaction with the customer aswell as to differentiate themselves incompetitive markets. For this reason,IS.Teledata believes in an increase in thedemand for its products and services inthe UK. “Rather than focussing on the
