Attest Group and our partners bring a wealth of expertise in enterprise technology solutions, when combined with our knowledge of the global legal market and firm / LLP structures we are in a unique position to advise firms on technologies from outside of industry, this may have not been considered by firms due to limited stakeholder awareness or market presence.

We believe this unique perspective is invaluable for firms in the current economic climate to ensure any critical business applications can deliver the outputs required by firms, whilst being able to support the nuances of the market. Critically any strategic technology investment should be made with full transparency of how these technologies can support these nuances and importantly, the benefits of leveraging the latest technical advancements to future proof technology investments against the ever-expanding data consumption requirements.

Driving competitive advantage and client engagement whilst simplifying the user experience to ensure solution adoption should, in our view, supersede market specific reference ability for strategic technology opportunities. Attest Group’s advisory focus is not only centred on the current requirements of the firm but considers the implications to the firms current IT architecture and future requirements, with a firm wide data strategy at the core of any investment. Ensuring technology procurement is not siloed but focused on enhancing collaboration and insight across the firm, which will by its very nature, enrich legacy architecture and deliver a greater return on investment.

 
Considered procurement as part of a future roadmap that simplifies IT architecture, whilst enabling new technologies to be adopted, is critical to firms to drive operational agility and efficient growth. We believe it is essential to view the impact of any technology investment from the perspective of its impact to the broader architecture. For example, investments in Generative Artificial Intelligence in supporting client requirements, often these investments are not being considered alongside the scalability of the finance architecture to support an exponential increase in service capacity, rendering these investments to be far less effective than the technology has the potential to be.
