<abstract displayLabel="Summary">The North American financial services industry, wich includes banking, insurance, and capital markets, spends a lot on technology. But with the big downturn in financial services fortunes, many technology providers face longer decision cycles, some project cancellations, and pressure from purchasing organizations to reduce prices.
