NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
American Banker and Bank Technology News, SourceMedia`s renowned publications

* 10 of this year`s Top 25 companies have headquarters outside of North America,
underscoring the global nature of solutions providers to the financial services

"Despite the recession, nearly all of this year`s Enterprise 25 list showed
strong growth," said Rebecca Sausner, editor of Bank Technology News. "This
year`s list includes three new entrants - SAP, Reed Elsevier and HCL Technology.
Dropping off the list are Electronic Data Systems (acquired by HP), Getronics
(acquired by KPN and CompuCon), and Infosys."

"When we look at the FinTech Enterprise 25 we are looking at the world`s largest
hardware, software and services integrators into the financial services
industry," said Dana Wiklund, research director, Risk Management, IDC Financial
Insights. "Many of these companies, including IBM and Oracle, have been
branching beyond their core competencies in hardware and data processing to
round out their value propositions with enterprise risk management solutions.
The companies that make up the Enterprise 25 have deep, embedded positions
within the financial services industry and leverage unique perspectives on
driving economic value for their clients through an unprecedented financial
crisis."

Consideration for the top 25 enterprise technology companies for 2009 is
determined by calendar year-end revenues (CY08) and the percentage of revenues
from sales to financial services industry clients, with final rankings based
upon total sales to financial institutions. In addition to the FinTech Top 25
Enterprise Technology Companies, American Banker, Bank Technology News and IDC
Financial Insights also released the 2009 FinTech 100 ranking of the top
technology providers to the financial services industry.

The 2009 honorees will be honored at the BAI Retail Delivery Conference & Expo
in Boston at an awards breakfast on November 4 at the Westin Boston Waterfront.
