Strategic Reviews

In this capacity, MAS performs a strategic review of the existing IT environment, including currently installed systems evaluation, emerging business requirements, alternative solutions and establishing the selection process.

The financial market is primarily in a replacement stage in many areas of front, middle, and back office technologies. Thus the challenge is to identify "the best-fit" and optimal value solutions to replace single or multiple current legacy, whether internally developed or externally provided, applications.
