Boston, MA, November 18, 2009 – A new report from Aite Group, LLC provides insight into the technology
vendors most admired by bank technology executives in eight bank-specific and horizontal technology areas: IT services, core banking, server hardware, database software,
business intelligence, business process management, storage services, and security information and event management. The report is based on an online survey of 80 North
American technology executives, conducted by Aite Group in July and August 2009.
Because of diminished spending due to the recession and the fact that not all technology areas lend themselves to recurring spending, Aite Group asked participants
which companies they most admire as a proxy to gauge future purchase consideration. Aite Group measured North American bank technology executives' admiration of 79 vendors, and
found that IBM is the most admired vendor in four out of eight examined categories. It is clear that despite massive consolidation in the bank-specific and horizontal technology
marketplaces in recent years, the technology industry remains fragmented, with hundreds of vendors competing for attention.
"Aite Group's research did not yield a category in which a majority of technology executives agreed on a single, most admired vendor," says
Gwenn Bézard, research director with Aite Group and co-author of this report.
"This is not a sign that vendors are doing a poor job. On the contrary, it indicates that vendors face savvy buyers, leaving little room for anything less than outstanding engineering,
sales and marketing, and delivery."
The following 80 technology vendors are named in this report: Accenture, Affiliated Computer, Appian, ArcSight, BearingPoint, Brocade, CA, CapGemini, CGI, Cisco, Cognizant,
CSC, DATAllegro, Dell, Deloitte, elQnetworks, EMC (RSA), Fidelity Information Services (FIS), Financial Objects, Fiserv, Fujitsu, Graham Technology, Greenplum, Handysoft Global, Harland Financial
Solutions, HCL, Hitachi, HP (HP-EDS; HP Neoview), IBM (including Cognos), Infosys, Intelliactics, Jack Henry, Keane, Kognito, L&T Infotech, Log Logic, Logica, LogRythm, Lombard Software, Mastek,
Metavante, Microsoft, Microstrategy, Misys, MySQL, NetApp, Netezza, netForensics, NetIQ, Nitro Security, Novell, OpenService, Open Solutions, Oracle (including Oracle/i-flex; Hyperion; BEA Systems),
Patni, Pegasystems, Polaris, Prism Microsystems, Q1 Labs, Quest Software, Sand Technology, SAP (including BusinessObjects), SAS, Savvion, SenSage, Software AG, Sun Microsystems, SunGard, Sybase, Symantec,
