January 8, 2010 21:00: special offer | the intel database is overflowing with interaction data captured every day since mid-2007 | so we decided that each listed core banking system 'vendor of interest' is entitled to receive one free core banking market intelligence database extract for 3-months worth of 3-month old prior months' archived data relevant to (from or about) one geographic super-region: just select Europe + CIS, Russia OR Asia Pacific OR Middle East and Africa OR The Americas and tell us who to send it to. It's a long cycle in banking system sales, and we think vendors to this market might like or be surprised by the competitive insights and leads contained in the not-so-fresh market activity data... enough to sign up for timely weekly or monthly deliveries that make a business difference | Contact us
