Count of 2017 sales highest of any provider in independent research survey

Finastra landed more global banking deals than any other provider in 2017, as outlined in a recent report by Forrester: True Digital Banking Drives Interest In Core Banking (Global Banking Platform Deals Survey 2017).

The report shows the highest key area of growth coming from lending and regulatory compliance functional elements. Of the 363 combined sales recorded for Finastra, 100 of these are new customers – the highest recorded figure in the survey of new name deals for last year.

Report author JostHoppermann, Vice President, Principal Analyst at Forrester wrote, “State-of-the-art banking platforms – or their elements like core banking and digital channels – can create fresh opportunities for banks and their application development and delivery (AD&D) teams to deliver great customer experience (CX) and generate new business value more efficiently. The 2017 survey recorded 2% year on year growth across the industry for new name clients, and extended business deals up 19%, compared to 8% and 5% respectively for 2016*.”

Finastra is also positioned at the top of the ‘2017 global banking platform vendor pyramid’ for combined deals. This ranking recognizes top global players with over 150 combined deals (new names and extended deals with existing customers) in more than five regions.
