ACI
Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading international provider of electronic
payment and banking systems, announced today that it has been
recognized as an industry leader by Ovum, an independent research firm,
in its new report, “Ovum
Decision Matrix: Selecting an Electronic Retail Payment Switch Platform.”
The report examines software solutions for payment switching.
As noted in the report, “financial institutions are struggling to cope
with burdensome regulations, reduced revenues and new competitors.
Across the globe, financial institutions and processors are looking for
partners that excel in application development, have implementation
expertise and provide a robust set of capabilities to help ease the
pressures on them.”
“ACI’s BASE24-eps and Postilion platforms both offer a high degree of
reliability and crucially, configurability,” said Gilles Ubaghs, senior
analyst, financial services technology, Ovum. “This makes these
platforms both more flexible to new payment innovations and more
adaptable to a rapidly shifting payments landscape.”
Ovum positioned ACI’s retail
banking solution, BASE24-eps, as a leader and stated “ACI BASE24-eps
scored very highly across nearly every subcategory within Ovum’s
decision matrix. It is the next generation of the still dominant BASE24
classic platform.”
Ovum has also positioned ACI’s Postilion solution as a leader, noting
“now that it has the added resources and support of ACI, Postilion is
well placed to expand its functional features through the added
resources of ACI’s extensive R&D activities and wider support services.”
“Customers have benefited from using our retail payment solutions to get
to market faster, increase revenues, improve compliance and enhance
overall payments productivity, and Ovum’s ranking is testament to that,”
said Jeff Hale, senior vice president, retail payments, ACI Worldwide.
