"Before the financial crisis, the high cost of legacy systems was not a key concern for management and investors as financial inefficiencies could be masked and rendered less important by robust income growth. In addition, banks could afford enough specialist staff to keep extending the lives of their systems and avoid any major mishaps. The time is now for banks across the globe to repair this, a move that is reinforced by a combination of structural factors — such as reregulation, heightened competition, more demanding customers and higher funding costs. These have reset profitability and exposed the inefficiencies of legacy IT platforms, something that must be rectified progressively if banks are to reposition themselves as modern, agile and forward thinking service providers." - Ben Robinson, Temenos.
