BANGALORE, NEW YORK and LONDON, July 15 -- Infosys today announced that Gartner,
Inc. has positioned Finacle(TM) core banking solution in the Leaders Quadrant of
the recently released ’Magic Quadrant for International Retail Core
Banking (IRCB)’ report. (1)
The Gartner Magic Quadrant IRCB report Assesses the suitability of core banking
system providers and their product offerings to address the impact of these and
other trends in the IRCB market.
As per Gartner, Leaders are vendors that possess a strong banking market
understanding, have a measurable strategy for disaggregating core banking
software functionality into component based constructs, exhibit highly developed
and certified development and delivery of quality methodologies or are executing
on a strategic road map to attain certification. Some higher-rated vendors share
conspicuous operational organization approaches that are relevant to the
business and show a clear willingness to own and be accountable for a successful
customer experience.
Haragopal M, Global Head - Finacle, Infosys Technologies Ltd., said, We believe
our position in the Leaders quadrant is testimony to our strong commitment to
the retail banking industry. Our end-to-end transformational approach, strong
focus on process and quality methodologies, and comprehensive product
functionality enable banks to achieve their future development and growth
strategies. Leading banks across the world have chosen Finacle to fuel their
business transformation initiatives and we believe this report by Gartner
further reiterates our differentiating strengths.
Magic Quadrants depict markets using a two dimensional matrix that evaluates
vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. The
evaluation began with 39 candidates for the IRCB Magic Quadrant for 2009 and
resulted in a qualified group of 23 combinations of vendors and products that
represent the major movers in retail core banking systems.
As a leader in banking transformation, Finacle(TM) has a global footprint
across 62 countries and has been acknowledged among the leaders in the core
banking solution space by top analysts. Finacle(TM) is also the winner of a
