"Fitch is in the sweet spot of technology firms. We are large enough – especially with the backing of Hearst – to have all the resources we need to do things at the forefront of technology. We are small enough not to have a lot of bureaucracy and ten levels of approvals we need to go through to make big technology decisions, though. This lets us do amazing things with technology much faster than comparable firms."
