The last few years have triggered dramatic changes in the way IT outsourcing arrangements have been made by enterprises.

Since the financial crisis of 2008, the financial services industry has been inundated with new rules and regulations that have consumed resources and increased spend on compliance. All of this is occurring at a time when the industry has also been under increasing competition from financial technology (fintech) firms.
