Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has launched a research study examining providers of digital technologies that enable banks to adapt to rapidly evolving market requirements.
The study results will be published in a comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ report, called Digital Banking Technology and Platforms 2023, scheduled to be released in July. The report will cover companies offering products that include core banking systems and specialized platforms for customer engagement and payment processing.
Enterprise buyers will be able to use information from the report to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.
