Hi: This is a little self-serving for Accenture. If banks continue to modernize their legacy systems, Accenture won't be able to sell their services and the software they developed for BBVA and I believe for BS (Spanish banks). I am sure the software, hardware and consulting costs will be quite high -- significantly more than what is being spent to modernize the applications using legacy systems.

Accenture is saying that now might be the time for banks to replace their core systems and retool to new technology. They don't actually say it, but it sounds to me like their saying that big banks should get off the mainframe. ---- comments? http://www.banktech.com/blog/archives/2009/11/why_the_time_fo.html?cid=n l_bnk_daily Tom Kelman Enterprise Capacity Planner Commerce Bank of Kansas City (816) 760-7632 **************************************************************************** * If you wish to communicate securely with Commerce Bank and its affiliates, you must log into your account under Online Services at http://www.commercebank.com or use the Commerce Bank Secure Email Message Center at https://securemail.commercebank.com NOTICE: This electronic mail message and any attached files are confidential.
