“We are honored that Alnova has been recognized for the strength of its functionally,” said Paolo Maresca, head of Accenture Software for Banking. “This award reflects our commitment to core banking innovation and to delivering technologies that directly address the challenges banks face in the new market environment.”
“Core banking renewal, whether it is done incrementally or as a total replacement, has the potential to provide immediate and sustainable growth and efficiency benefits to banks, but only when supported by the right technology,” said Juan Pedro Moreno, global managing director of Accenture Core Banking Services. “Our goal is to provide clients with a range of flexible, functionally-rich solutions that help banks become more efficient and customer centric in today’s cost-intensive and competitive environment.”
Core banking systems are sophisticated technology applications that support banks’ primary services -- from deposit gathering, lending and mortgages to checking, savings, ATM and credit card services and online and mobile banking. They also support a wide range of regulatory reporting and compliance functions for banks.
