FIS has a reasonable delivery track-record, although not blemish-free, of course, and it does have some over-running projects, although there often seems to be perseverance on both the supplier and user side, such as in Russia. It doesn’t win the quantity of deals of some of its rivals and has a somewhat more complex outlook than those with single, flagship offerings. Profile does not gain ticks in all boxes for its technology, but the system is relatively broad and scalable. FIS appears to have
been putting in more R&D and building up the delivery capabilities for Profile of late, reflected in the Islamic banking work. At the same time, the new components seem to be taking much longer than intended to arrive. The company continues to bring in interesting sales for Profile, as reflected in Sainsbury’s Bank and its Indian successes in 2013 and 2014. The acquisition of Sungard is worked out well for FIS driving their revenue up tby 30%
