>> People dealing with finance are THE MOST risk-averse people I know. No new tool will be used without years of vetting and it'll still be blamed if something goes wrong - even if the new tool never touched that bit of the process =)
What exactly do you mean by "finance" in your context? Even within a huge organization like Bank of America you can have an extremely conservative part and an innovative part. Obviously, most employees are likely working for the conservative part, but that doesn't mean that there aren't some people playing using modern technology. It just doesn't get evenly distributed, and you can be many layers from that usage in your department.
