State Street is planning to decrease its workforce by 850 in the next 20 months, Financial Times reports. The bank will layoff about 530 IT employees and transfer 320 jobs to IT outsourcing providers.

The job cuts will be in addition to the 1400 layoffs announced by the bank in November 2010. The move follows the bank’s strategy to reduce costs.
