Straight Talk Special Issue: Financial Services - 18

As the London Stock Exchange Group has gone global, IT has had to evolve in both
familiar and organization-speciﬁc ways.
We all know that IT has
grown it's focus in recent
years, from "error reducer"
and "money saver"
(principally through
automation) to more of an
enabler of business models
and therefore much more
embedded in helping to set
business strategy. And IT at
the London Stock Exchange is
no exception to that
transition.
But IT here has also grown in
capabilities because the LSE
Group has changed. When
you're running an exchange
that provides a signiﬁcant
amount of the capital
formation for a country, it's
as if you are part of the fabric
of that country - there's so

much tied to keeping the
infrastructure safe, secure,
and being nearly perfect at
what you do. You really want
to get it right and make it stay
right, because there's so
much at stake, including the
sheer pride involved.
When you expand, as we
have, to multiple exchanges,
multiple countries, and new
businesses and business
models, you create a lot of
complexity. It scares the
daylights out of people who
are used to something that is
relatively easy to get your
arms around - not that what
they've been doing is easy,
but conceptually it's easy to
understand the underlying
rationale for expansion.

The cloud speeds everything up a lot for all of
us in IT; we're like a carpenter who was using
a hammer and now has a nail gun.
