FinArch Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant for Basel II Risk Management Application Software, 2005
Ghent – 25 October 2005 - Financial Architects nv (FinArch), international provider of the Financial Studio – FRP (Finance Resource Planning) platform for the finance industry, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant in the ‘Basel II Risk Management Application Software, 2005’ report ( Magic Quadrant for Basel II Risk Management Application Software, 2005; David Furlonger, David McKibben, 16 September 2005).
According to Gartner, “leaders” are vendors who have a proven track record in Basel II vision and business investment, which indicates they are well-positioned for the future. Leaders do not necessarily offer the best products for every customer project, but they do provide solutions that offer relatively lower failure risk. Leaders in this market have paired advanced technology with broad offerings or have specific, rich functionality.
In the report, Gartner Inc, states that “Nine vendors lead the market for Basel II Capital Accord risk management application software in 2005. Detailed domain expertise and deep functionality are critical components of a vendor's ability to excel in this market.”
In the Stylized Architectural Diagram FinArch offers functionality in the areas of Reporting & Dashboarding, Risk Engine and Data Management both for Credit Risk and Operational Risk.
“We consider our positioning in the leader quadrant by Gartner further confirmation of FinArch’s mission to enable customers to take full control of their operations while at the same time complying with changing regulatory demands,” said Dirk De Beule, CEO of FinArch. “FinArch continues to innovate while we execute on our product roadmap. With the Financial Studio – FRP (Finance Resource Planning) product portfolio, we are empowering financial institutions to improve efficiency and increase business performance.”
