Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

In the first half of 2007, Forrester surveyed enterprise architects, IT planners, and IT strategists in European financial services firms to get their take on the current state of architecture strategy. The survey yielded three key insights about their strategies: 1) there is a clear top group of strategic operating systems; 2) strategically positioned architecture elements are well aligned with forward-looking target state architectures; and 3) .NET has significantly increased its strategic relevance in European financial services.
