Quotes:

Haragopal M, Global Head- Finacle, Infosys:

"Complexity of business operations and need for technology
modernization are amongst the biggest hurdles to accelerate growth
today. Leveraging the componentized nature of Finacle 11E, banks can
choose to deploy a solution in phases based on business priorities.
This ensures simplified transformation journey and faster realization
of modernization benefits."

Robert Hunt, Senior Research Director, CEB TowerGroup:

"Large banks are reluctant to undertake core modernization
projects due to the risks and complexity of the effort. By
componentizing their products, core vendors are providing banks with
the flexibility needed to develop phased implementation plans that
reduce this risk. Moreover, componentization allows banks to
prioritize their efforts, improving the business case for core
modernization by focusing on functions that provide the greatest
short term benefits".

Ali Sajwani, Chief Information Officer, Emirates NBD:

"Finacle Core Banking Solution has been powering our operations
since 2009. As a long term partner, Finacle has helped us grow both
organically and inorganically. It is encouraging to see Infosys
constantly evolving their solution to meet growing needs of banks for
simplification and easy modernization. We are currently rolling out
their new liquidity management solution to offer tailor-made cash
management products to our corporate and SME clients."

Peter Schlebusch, Chief Executive of Personal & Business Banking,
Standard Bank:

"Infosys has been our partner in business transformation for over
3 years now. Today, we run Finacle solutions in five countries and
have plans to expand it to other territories to achieve higher
operational efficiencies and faster growth. We are glad that Infosys
continues to invest in the solution and now with Finacle 11E are
bringing out capabilities which will help banks to simplify their
operations and deliver superior customer experience."
