Maximizing business value of investments in hardware, software and telecommunications technologies that occur in the trading and treasury operations of an international bank requires senior management to evaluate the extent to which the technology infrastructure enables the bank to perform a number of key functions. These include: formulating effective trading strategies, pricing financial instruments accurately and rapidly, being able to respond to changing market conditions, processing transactions cost-effectively, resolving inquiries quickly, and moving to support emerging corporate treasury products.

It also presents a series of managerial recommendations based on the framework
