An environment of economic uncertainty resulted in a considerable decline in deals reported in this year’s SLT. Yet the outlook remains positive as banks and financial institutions stayed committed to investing in the future readiness of core banking platforms alongside wholesale and digital banking solutions.
London, June 15, 2023 – IBS Intelligence (IBSi) is pleased to announce the publication of its eagerly awaited iconic Annual IBSi Sales League Table (SLT) 2023. With a 20+ year track record, the IBSi SLT showcases the sales performance of banking technology suppliers, objectively ranking products across 21 categories, with four new categories launched in this edition.
Despite a global slowdown, SLT 2023 received a consistent level of interest and participation with 57 technology suppliers submitting 1,500+ deals spanning 134 countries. Only 1,281 deals made it past a rigorous assessment process to this year’s final SLT rankings, with a 70-30 split between global and domestic deals.
This year we are excited to introduce the following new categories, “Card Management”, “Quality Assurance & Testing Platform”, “Document Management Systems”, and “Process Automation/BPM”.
IBSi also recognises suppliers in select niche sub-categories as a part of Industry Leader Special Awards: Trade Finance, Supply Chain Finance, Collections, Investment and Fund Management | Latin America, Digital Banking | Select Regions, Universal Core Banking | Select Regions, Corporate Lending | Select Regions, New-Age Core | Universal Banking, and New-Age Core | Retail Banking.
Nikhil Gokhale, Head of Research Platforms, said, “Although, the deal volume declined amid tough economic conditions and global conflicts, the march towards digitisation seems unrelenting. Banks have ramped up investments in next generation core systems as well as wholesale and digital solutions, which lays a strong foundation for future growth.”
“Conversations with senior bankers and technology executives emphasise the need to adapt and innovate, to meet the evolving customer expectations and to stay ahead of the curve. Embracing cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and cloud computing, is paramount for incumbents to deliver personalized, efficient, and secure banking experiences.”
