The financial services industry has been a leader in the use of information technology. Firms in banking, investments, and insurance are among the most information intensive and innovative users of information technology as are exchanges for financial products.

With the emergence of the Internet and the pace of technological change, managers in banking and securities firms are required to make critical strategic decisions about their data resources, information infrastructure, decision support, and the computerization of processes within their firms.
