About 47% of the surveyed firms stated that their operations are adequately strong to support their growth plans, a significant growth from 28% a year ago.
FIS head of Institutional & Wholesale Martin Boyd said: “Our research shows that financial services firms can increase their abilities to accelerate their growth if they evolve their traditional operating model of data management, efficiency and risk management into one built on digital innovation, emerging technologies and advanced automation.
“Based upon our research, those firms that have been able to expand their focus and modernise their operating model should be well placed for success in the future.”
