Graham Lancaster
Partner and CFO

"IT will always be a significant cost to the business P&L, therefore IT cost transparency is a key issue within Financial Services organisations, especially during the current climate of constant downward pressure on the cost base. The implementation of an IT cost transparency programme is not rocket science but there are many pitfalls, most of which can be avoided by applying process, domain knowledge and previous experience. With this extensive knowledge and experience, TORI deliver real benefit by not over-engineering the process."
