Readers acclaim Finacle in the ‘Best Core Banking Product’ category

London, UK – November 10, 2008: Infosys Technologies today announced that its Finacle Universal Banking Solution featured in two prestigious awards at the Banking Technology Awards 2008. Finacle was ‘Highly Commended’ in the ‘Best Core Banking Product’ category for the Banking Technology Readers’ Choice Award. In addition, Bank Sohar’s (Oman) implementation of Finacle’s Bank-in-a-Box Solution (BIAB) was awarded a Judges’ Special Achievement Award. The award, presented at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 6th November, reinforces Finacle’s leadership position in the core banking space.

The Banking Technology Awards, now in its ninth year, reflects excellence across a range of IT activities in banking and financial services. The awards received entries from across the Europe, Middle East & Africa region. For a second year in a row, Banking Technology has given its readers the power to vote for the best systems across several product areas in the financial sector. Its readers recognised the benefits delivered by Finacle’s core banking solution to banks in meeting the challenges of managing change, competition, compliance and customer demands effectively.

‘The standard of entry in the Banking Technology Awards continues to reach new levels, and this year was no exception,’ saidDavid Bannister, editor of Banking Technology and chairman of the judging panel. ‘The final shortlist and eventual winners have been through a severe scrutiny by the judges and can be proud of their achievements.’
