Boston, September 11, 2014 – Banks across the globe face significant challenges: They see continued competition from nonbank players, and they still feel the effects of the global financial crisis of 2008 in the form of weakened liquidity, troubled assets, financially conservative borrowers, regulatory demands for higher capital levels, and a tepid global recovery. But where are large banks strategizing and spending to compete? Big data, data management, and traditional analytics lie in a sweet spot where banks tend to plan upward levels of spending and say they are disappointed with their current capabilities.
