Finacle from Infosys Positioned in Leaders Quadrant in Magic Quadrant for International Retail Core Banking 2008



    Infosys today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Finacle
    core banking solution in the Leaders Quadrant of the recently released
    ´Magic Quadrant for International Retail Core Banking (IRCB) 2008´
    report. (Report available at:
    http://www.infosys.com/finacle/gartner2008.asp).

    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."
    Moreover, the report "has uncovered the leading strategies of these
    vendors/products, revealed their underlying product/service
    capabilities and affirmed their relevance to the changing conditions
    of the banking industry."

    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, and most have extensive marketing delivery and
    sales channels. 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, Business Head - Finacle, Infosys Technologies, said

    "We believe Finacle´s position in the Leaders quadrant in the Gartner
    Magic Quadrant and its position as the solution of choice for leading
    banks across the world are a validation of its market leadership.
    Finacle´s transformational approach, state-of-the-art solution and
    comprehensive execution capabilities have set new global standards and
    we believe this report by Gartner further demonstrates 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 Magic Quadrant has 15 weighted criteria that plot vendors
    based on their relative strengths in the market. The evaluation began
    with 32 candidates for the IRCB Magic Quadrant for 2008 and resulted
    in a qualified group of 22 combinations of vendors and products that
    represent the major movers in retail core banking systems.
