A combination of economic, strategic business and technological influences is changing the relationships among IT and its business users and among IT organizations and their suppliers. At the core of these changes are new IT architectures based on Internet standards and new business relationships between service users and providers that leverage these new architectures. The next generation of system architectures that financial services providers will use needs to accommodate three broad business and technology influences: the banking industry's heritage, the drivers for change at banks and technology developments. Where these three paths cross produces forces that will change how IT solutions and systems are developed, sourced, acquired and owned.
