11:55 Panel Discussion |Utilities and Beyond, How and Where Industry is Partnering at the Consortia Level

Across the industry firms are spending huge sums individually and utilities offer the opportunity for rationalization across firms. The appetite for utilities is on the rise and asset managers are beginning to look to the opportunities following the pioneering investment banks. What have we learned so far? Are utilities a way to band together to find rationalizations in the face of disruptions? Who bears the burden of risk and cost if there is a mistake? What is happening on the outsourcing side?
Panelists will discuss:
• Projections on savings and improvements to be made
• How to make sure you have the right technology in place that’s scaleable
• Overview of barriers to entry with utilities and how the model will become a reality
