Pros

Decisions are weighed with respect to how they will impact Customers, Shareholders, and Employees.

The Top 100 places to work rating is achieved through management focus on employees as a strategic competitive advantage.

Financial software domain knowledge is deep and pervasive.

Cons

Organizations work in silos, with issues communicating and coordinating across them. Senior leaders seem to be rewarded for delivering within their domain, but there doesn't seem to be recognition for collaborative efforts. Desktop-centric engineering and release approaches can be frustrating for the web world.

Advice to Management

Establish web properties in each major area and bring in web-savvy leaders to carry out a coordinated strategy to obsolete desktop products. Transform production capability and personnel resources for the web world.
