Waters magazine is proud to launch Delivering IT Project Management, a one-day training course focused at senior financial technology professionals and heads of business lines that implement technology within investment and commercial banks, buy-side firms, financial exchanges, brokerages and other end-users of financial technology.

There has never been a more compelling time to make a change to your organisation’s approach to IT project management. As the latest compliance demands come into affect, your IT systems must be bigger, faster and provide clearer audit trails while simultaneously lowering the cost of ownership. Is it any wonder that many projects still go over budget and over time because of the traditional approach to IT implementation? Therefore, easing the project burden requires an enterprise-wide approach to drive through IT installations through improved inter-departmental communications.
