  Financial institutions traditionally outsource application development and maintenance (ADM) to reduce IT costs: outsourcing ADM can reduce the cost of application ownership by as much as 50 percent. But other reasons for outsourcing are becoming more important.

They want applications that are more reliable, consistent and efficient, which improve service delivery and decision making, and which enable quick responses to changing financial circumstances. In this issue of The Point, we describe how financial institutions can improve their applications through outsourcing, and we outline Accenture’s proven approach to managing the process by industrializing the delivery of systems, optimizing the application portfolio and enabling business performance.
