Abstract
Swiss banks have returned to their roots and pay an increasing amount of attention to differentiating
themselves from others through good financial advisory services. This has led to a loudly publicized
standardization of IT-advisory processes, but not to an increasing use of supporting IT tools. This paper uses interviews with Swiss advisors, sales managers and IT managers, as well as focus groups of
users and a survey with users to identify reasons for non-usage. The analysis is based on a framework
combining principal-agent theory, IT-business alignment, technology acceptance and information behaviour. We provide evidence that the key problem explanation is the incentive system of the advisors
and that poor usability of the software and lack of engagement by sales managers also contribute to
the non-usage of most tools
