London, UK – June 7, 2019 – Finastra today announced it has won the 2019 Microsoft Alliance Global ISV Partner of the Year Award. The company was honored among a global field of top Microsoft partners for demonstrating excellence in innovation and implementation of customer solutions based on Microsoft technology.
“What an immense achievement to have received this recognition less than 18 months after we announced our strategic alliance together with Microsoft. We are humbled that a world-renowned brand with such gravitas shares our vision,” said Simon Paris, CEO at Finastra. “We believe the future of finance is open. It’s about improving customer experience and empowering people. This award demonstrates our dedication to delivering innovative solutions that enable true transformation.”
Eli Rosner, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Finastra added, “With our FusionFabric.cloud platform, underpinned by Microsoft Azure, we’re creating an open environment to spark innovation and encourage collaboration across the financial services ecosystem. We’ve already achieved a lot together and, having just co-hosted our first FusionONE open banking developer conference in London in May, we’re excited to see our work continue to new heights. This is just the beginning of our exciting journey.”
Awards were presented in several categories, with winners chosen from a set of more than 2,900 entrants from 115 countries worldwide. Finastra was recognized for providing outstanding solutions and services as a Microsoft Alliance Global ISV Partner.
Finastra’s work with Microsoft demonstrates its dedication to continuously improving its cloud services and open platform offering. Most recently, Finastra announced it has built its Fusion Mortgagebot solution on top of Microsoft technology – Power BI and PowerApps – via FusionFabric.cloud. Using innovative artificial intelligence and data visualizations, this functionality adds powerful analytics and dashboards to help users uncover trends and spot new business opportunities.
The companies are doing the same with Finastra’s Fusion CreditQuest loan origination tool, now built on Dynamics 365. The module, LenderInsights, will empower banks and credit unions with a comprehensive end-to-end lending solution, connecting front office relationship managers with their back-office underwriting team, through Microsoft Office 365.
“It’s an honor to recognize finalists and winners of the Microsoft 2019 Partner of the Year Awards,” said Gavriella Schuster, Corporate Vice President, One Commercial Partner, Microsoft Corp. “These companies are successfully leading their industries, building intelligent solutions, addressing complex business challenges and making more possible for customers around the world.
