A federated development approach is the right model to solve complex business and technology problems for the financial services industry. The approach involves implementing a framework that provides architectural and standardization guidance, while using collaboration techniques and processes to develop product and technology innovations. Financial services institutions that successfully adopt this framework will be best positioned to compete over the next five years.
