Finance

From an IT perspective, if we had one word to summarise our finance, insurance and capital markets customers, it would be data, lots and lots of data. And with data comes audit trails and regulation. Bytes understands the need to control data, to keep it secure and comply with the FSA and Sovency II Directive. We work closely with vendors such as Oracle, Microsoft, VMware and NetApp and specialise in establishing the most appropriate and cost effective way to license complex software infrastructures.
Having an understanding of my customer’s requirements around data quality management helps me to recommend volume software solutions that will positively impact their ability to build secure, transparent and auditable business processes. IT systems are particularly crucial to my clients and keeping up to date with the latest technology to drive staff productivity is paramount, which is why understanding their future requirements and the vendors product roadmaps are just as important as pricing what they are using today. I ensure that the correct licensing agreements are proposed and that it allows for flexibility in terms of technology upgrades, staff numbers and where appropriate, allows for international entitlements. Having this approach can significantly reduce longer term costs, which is always the main goal.
