The Great Colocation Bake-Off

The term “bake-off” is typically attributed to a contest where amateur cooks prepare delectable treats and the winner receives bragging rights or some sort of prize. The term, however, has another meaning and can be used in describing competitions between professional services groups, including investment bankers, real estate brokers and Information Technology (IT) vendors.
