Boutique Investment Banking Technology Benchmarking

Through our work with a variety of small and medium Boutique Investment Banking and M&A Advisory firms, we have developed the first and only technology survey, aimed specifically at boutique investment banks.
This helps these firms:
i) Assess their own technology capabilities.
ii) Benchmark themselves verses their peers.
iii) Generate ideas around potential gaps in their digital strategy.

Over 70 questions covering 30+ capabilities

With over 70 questions, covering 30+ capabilities, ranging from your basic PC/laptop computer to the latest AI tools, our survey provides the most comprehensive assessment of how boutique investment banks should be leveraging technology to their advantage, to drive business deals.

Plain English descriptions

We understand that technology can seem complicated and as if it has its own language, to many people.  Our bespoke survey ensures that every question comes with plain, non-technology descriptions of each capability, to help your business users understand how technology can benefit your bankers and what they can expect from technology services. 

Easy-to-use tool

Whether you are looking to understand how your bankers view your current technology capabilities, how they benchmark your technology services against your peers or simply generate some new ideas about what great technology could (or should) be doing for you, our custom built survey tool is designed especially for bankers, to quickly and easily provide feedback either from a mobile (ie iPhone), tablet( ie iPad) or PC (laptop) device.
