Diasoft , a global provider of financial software solutions, is named among Top 5 Global Leaders of Celent Big Leagues Table 2013 for the gross number of deals won in 2012-2013. The results were introduced by Celent in its annual The Big Leagues 2013: Core Platform Sales Ranking issued in February 2014. The report provides a detailed look at core banking deals and measures the number of new banking deals that vendors won in the 12 months between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.

In this report, Celent uses a weighted score designed to assess the value of deals won, rather than merely the number of deals. Celent believes that a sales ranking should include both the size of the deals and an adjustment for the geographical location of the implementation. With that view, Celent introduced the Big Leagues Table to compare how various core banking vendors performed across the world. The report provides a geographical analysis of North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, together with a detailed vendor analysis.

“We are proud to be ranked among Top 5 Leaders globally this year”, said Mikhail Kryuchkov, Director, Global Markets, Diasoft. “This recognition indicates that our customers recognize the value of Diasoft component-based SOA-compliant financial solutions incorporating the most advanced architectural principles and standards.  As we remain to provide our customers with necessary business and technological agility, we expect our position as a world`s leading software solutions provider will continue to rise.”

“Celent is bullish about the core market,” says Dan Latimore, Senior Vice President with Celent’s Banking Group and coauthor of the report. “Standardization initiatives are gaining momentum, and as IT development evolves toward simplicity and modularity, core adoption will become easier to justify.”

“The cycle time for new channels and products will continue to shorten,” adds Stephen Greer, Analyst with Celent’s Banking Group and coauthor of the report. “As complexity grows, vendors will undoubtedly be at the forefront of innovation, with core banking deals not far behind.”
