January 28, 2009 9:17: A new inquirer out of Jordan asked for a comparison of Istisharat ICBS versus Misys Bankfusion Universal Banking System | We only have our Trapedza summary about Bankfusion created previously in about 2004. We are not up-to-date with what Misys are rolling out as Bankfusion since they bought Trapedza in 2006 and proposed that the BankFusion product would be rolled up into BankMaster Plus. We do have basic information on BML Istisharat and their Integrated Computerized Banking System (ICBS) product, that we still see get confused with the Fiserv International Comprehensive Banking System (ICBS).

Is someone starting a rumour, or is it about a different NAB entity, or is there something negative developing around the big Oracle i-Flex core banking business deal with National Australia Bank? January 20, 2009 23:59: A recent inquiry asked about "failed banks and outsourced IT". We do not have any data on this, but someone might be investigating a link between the dispassionate outsourced banking systems model and institutions that are in trouble, or needed to be bailed-out, merged or rescued with government funds. There should not be any relationship - even though outsourced IT is often less satisfactory as a solution than the management expected when they signed up to save money.

January 11, 2009 22:00: Another inquiry for a comparison - "banking systems path i-flex comparison" - this time it seems iMal and Flexcube are in review with an MNC in Jordan.

January 6, 2009 11:08: From Bogota in Colombia, we see a new request for a Finacle versus i-Flex comparison | and from Sudan, a "core banking system" inquiry that developed into interest in Temenos T24 and Path iMal in particular.

December 28, 2008 12:11: Throughout 2008, there has been a growing number of instances of "inntron" being typed into internet search engines as a specific and almost "generic" search term used by financial services sector parties looking for practical core banking system and vendor information, and independent advice, via the web channel. For years now, banking & finance institutions, their systems integration partners, and consultants have used targeted internet searches like for "core banking systems" or "core banking software in {any country name}", and they find us. Many bookmark the inntron core banking resource pages, and others just look-up "inntron" the next time - inntron has an established presence on the internet - with a focused audience including plenty of leading industry names that are frequent and regular returning visitors. Relevant visitor traffic is steadily increasing. Thanks to all those people who told us how they appreciate the straight-forward data and assistance we provide. We will continue to do the daily analysis to ensure the intelligence that we develop about the core banking systems market. and the insights we provide as consultants, will continue to be of interest and of value. A little well-placed online advertising and promotion with inntron in 2009 will again be an effective option for banking system vendors and service providers trying to stand out and be seen in the spotlight. December 22, 2008 19:48: Recent inquiries indicate there is some current interest in knowing more about Temenos CoreBanking TCB from independent sources (several inquiries this week anyway). Some straight-forward questions asked about the system's heritage and history, the clients, implementations and references (RSI and the Thai projects), and the rating of the product (not the vendor). December 20, 2008 10:03: Defn. ~ inntron intelligence is information gathered and analyzed and made available that is valued for its currency and relevance on top of the intrinsic value of the precise and unique data content | for targeted core banking systems market interest and activity data, click here and request the inntron intelligence channel white paper. December 19, 2008 20:08: The Private Banking System Product and Islamic Banking System Product Quickview Guide pages are indexed and accessed widely as entry pages. These "By Product Within Category" listings for software products that fit the respective categories are popular lately. Still, the best way to lookup subsets or category-based selections in our websites is to use the insite Search tool to find relevant information within our larger set of core banking listings and resources covering 93 vendors and some 130 core banking systems.

From Venezuela, noted two options compared were Arango Software International and CobisCorp (Macosa). And from Hanoi in Vietnam, another long hard look at Temenos CoreBanking. While out of Laos it is i-flex and Infopro that attracted a comparison. From Sydney, Temenos T24. Canada, COBIScorp and Temenos T24. From France, keen interest in Top Systems Topaz.
