SunGard
Customers
Their customers face enormous opportunities and challenges as a
result of advances in information technology. The cost of storing,
processing and distributing information has decreased dramatically.
Organisations have adapted in order to exploit the availability
of information and in the process they have become pervasively dependent
on it. Their Availability Services customers are shifting from dependence
on back-up facilities for disaster recovery to building resilience
into their business processes. The information revolution also has
led to much more transparent markets which has intensified global
competition and margin pressures. As a consequence their Investment
Support Systems customers are specialising in selected areas of
expertise to gain economies of scale and reduce costs. Now the financial
markets are evolving into a global network of highly interdependent
specialists.
