Customer Reviews

I finally found a worthwhile book on FS tech

I was quite amazed at the depth of this book. There's about 40 different contributors - each of whom is a real industry expert. Taken together this book is a real goldmine.I've collected several of Jessica Keyes' books. She's written, I think, about ten or so. Each of them is meticuously done. Her contributed books are the best, however. She somehow has the knack of getting a bunch of experts all in one place and then picking their brains.I'd recommend getting a copy of this book ifyou're a serious technican in the financial services industry.

Great review of how technology is used in financial services

As a long-time veteran of the financial services industry I'm always on the lookout for books that help me to do my job better.Given the profusion of technologies on the market today I also wanted help in understanding what these technologies are and how to implement them.There aren't too many books that combine technology and financial services so when I found Keyes' Handbook of Technology in Financial Services I grabbed it immediately. I wasn't disappointed. Keyes has gathered together some of the smartest people in the field who have gone out of the way to share their expertise with us. I was particularly impressed on the wealth of information on Internet technologies. Given that this is an area that I'm just getting into, the Handbook offered some solid advice.

A complete compendium of financial services technologies

I searched high and low for a book about the technologies specific to the industry I work in. There are alot of books out there about technologies but almost none about how to apply those technologies to specific industries. This handbook has proven invaluable in assisting me make good decisions in the securities industry.
