Forrester surveyed 29 vendors of globally deployed banking platforms on their 2012 deals. Our analysis of these deals by region reveals that growth ranged widely — from slight shrinkage to dramatic increase — but was spread across more centers of demand and countries. This broader growth was tempered by the fact that most countries had only a few off-the-shelf banking platform deals, which often makes it harder for vendors to cope with local, country-specific requirements. This report delivers Forrester's latest guidance to banks on how to select from off-the-shelf banking platforms based on their market success and commitment to particular world regions.
