Fidelity National Information Services Tops New ABI Research Mobile Banking Vendor Matrix Ranking
Fountain Hills, AZ, May 06, 2009 (PIN Payments News) -- Fidelity National Information Services has been ranked at the top of the latest Vendor Matrix released by ABI Research.
Fiserv and Sybase claimed the second and third spots in the company's new evaluation of worldwide mobile banking vendors.
"FIS has assembled a comprehensive suite of mobile banking solutions," says senior analyst Mark Beccue, "which can accommodate a financial institution whether they would like to offer consumers an SMS, mobile internet or downloadable application, all of which are integrated into FIS' core banking solutions. That, combined with their market-leading reach into financial institutions worldwide, which became even larger with their recent announcement that they would acquire Metavante, secured them the top score."
Fiserv claims second place because of its strong global relationships with financial institutions, and a smart tie up with mobile specialist M-Com.
Sybase takes the third spot because of a powerful combination of factors. It has strong relationships with MNOs globally, while its Paybox acquisition and C-Sam partnership bring together a comprehensive and accessible mobile banking solution with multiple options for banks and MNOs.
The Vendor Matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear understanding of vendors' positions in specific markets. Vendors are assessed on the important parameters of "innovation" and "implementation" across several criteria unique to each vendor matrix.
For this particular matrix, under "innovation," ABI Research examined these vendors products' unique features and the breadth of technology involved, as well as their experience and leadership in both mobile and financial services.
Under "implementation," ABI Research scrutinized the following criteria: the vendors' market presence, their global sales and support capabilities, any complimentary products on offer, the breadth of their product lines, and their regional expertise.
