About this book

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.

About the author

ROSS MCGILL has worked on both the buy and sell side of technology in both retail and wholesale financial
services over the last twenty years, most recently as CEO of a group of five software businesses. He is uniquely
placed to provide a view of technology management issues for financial services practitioners.
