IT outsourcing is happening as soon as the new CEO is in place. A couple reasons why WF is going this direction. First IT hasn’t delivered systems to satisfy regulator MOUs. The regulators want to see old legacy systems updated and it just hasn’t happened so the regulators are requiring a differently strategy. The other point is WF’s core business is banking (some may say fraudulently) and not IT. Investors want the bank to simplify operations and focus on core competency. Think about it this way - if WF’s core competency was IT, they would sell the in house built technology to other banks. But they can’t sell the technology because it all is terribly years behind.
The good thing is many in IT should have job opportunities to join the company taking over IT. That should also look good on the resume.
I this statement by @Z0EUzty-1wws true? Does anyone know more specifically on this matter?
