Synopses & Reviews
Technology is now, and will remain, at the forefront of innovation in the financial services sector, driving new products and services. It is seen as the only way for many firms to remain in business at all. Many will fail to innovate or invest enough. Already the separation of the larger financial institutions from the smaller firms is polarizing the community. The advent of new disruptive technologies is about to hit the financial services markets in the same way the internet did a few years ago.
It is vital that those who develop and manage technology in the financial services sector have a clear picture of the role of technology in this fast moving environment. Those who do not embrace this new approach will increasingly be left with obsolete systems.
Synopsis
Over $5 trillion will be spent on technology in the financial services sector in the next three years. While there are many books covering purely technical issues, this is one of the very few that look at the challenge of how to manage financial services technology in an area that under-pins almost every part of our global civilisation.
Synopsis
Thomas Hardy's first love was poetry. It was not until 1898, when he was 58, that his first book of poetry, Wessex Poems was published. For the final years of his life he abandoned fiction and devoted himself entirely to poetry; he is now not only regarded as one of the most important English novelists but is also a poet of major stature and increasing popularity. The Complete Poems includes Hardy's more than 900 poems, complemented by detailed notes. Collected here are his eight books of verse, all the uncollected poems, Domicilium, and the songs from The Dynasts. This edition contains an additional poem, The Sound of Her.
