The Financial Services Industry has undergone major transformations during the last years, particularly in the wake of the financial crisis. In view of a profoundly changed market situation, companies now focus on objectives such as repositioning, modifications in the overall business models, building up and expanding into new markets, ensuring sustainable growth, enhancing the transparency of financial products, and improving risk evaluation.
