Big four employee outsourced to big bank. The lack of in-house knowledge is always troubling. Also screen scraping data and automating processes by having a program take control of the mouse/keyboard and click/type is a big seller to banks.

There is a number of companies who will gladly state they will solve problem Y for approximately $X. It creates this weird, self-reinforcing relationship.
