Diasoft, a global provider of cutting-edge software solutions for the financial industry, announced today that IDC has positioned Diasoft as a leader in its 2015 Worldwide Core Banking MarketScape.

IDC Financial Insights Worldwide Core Banking MarketScape provides assessment of global core banking solutions in terms of how the major vendors compare with each other and what criteria are most important for financial institutions to consider when making core banking investment decisions. IDC analysts base individual vendor scores, and ultimately vendor positions within the IDC MarketScape, on detailed surveys and interviews with the vendors, publicly available information, and end-user experiences in an effort to provide an accurate and consistent assessment of each vendor's characteristics, behavior, and capability. Significantly, using the IDC MarketScape model, IDC Financial Insights compared 19 core banking solutions in the global marketplace.

"More and more banks are committing to transformational IT initiatives that will take them into tomorrow's world of financial services. This IDC MarketScape is a timely analysis of the broad scope of vendors and solutions, guiding banks through the landscape of traditional and new providers that can help with that transformation", - notes Andrei Charniauski, Research Manager for European Banking at IDC Financial Insights.
