In parallel with the implementation of ‘best practice’ IT Infrastructure frameworks such as ITIL® which include people and processes there is a need to introduce and manage the appropriate supporting technologies. This is based on the fundamental premise that ‘if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it’ and it follows that if ‘you can’t manage it, you can’t improve on it’.

As a result TORI has researched the technology market to find innovative companies which provide the tools to support today’s Investment Banking operational demands. The tools developed by these Partners provide an unrivalled capability for:

• Identifying what devices are in the infrastructure
• Identifying what applications are being utilised
• Mapping the relationships between services, applications and underlying infrastructures
• Building models of the ‘chaotic’ environment
• Undertaking ‘what ifs’ before implementation thereby reducing operational risk.

In addition, TORI has an Associate programme which provides ‘interim management’ competencies should an organisation find itself in a position of temporary skills shortage.
