FRANK R. MARTIRE learned one of the most important lessons of his career in the 1970s, when he was in his 20s, working at Connecticut National Bank. The chairman and chief executive of FIS was then fresh out of Sacred Heart University of Faireld, Conn., and exhausted after working all night on a project that he just couldnt complete. The goal of the project wasnt important, but what he was about to hear from his boss was. I said: I did everything I could. I did the best I could and we just didnt get the project done, Martire recalls. But he [answered]: Mr. Martire dont ever confuse [effort] for results. That is now one of the guiding principles of FIS business, which includes core processing among a broad suite of nancial technology products. Its something that stuck with me throughout my whole career. I want to get results, Martire says. The attitude of my employees to our clients is a reection of me personally. Either we do it well or we dont do it. ITS A STRATEGY THAT HAS SERVED HIm WELL. This year, FIS is number one in the FinTech 100, having racked up $5.7 billion in revenue in 2011, 87 percent of it from the nancial services industry. But FISs business is constantly changing. On the horizon are managed services that the company plans to offer to banks. Those bank clients are having to compete with a host of potential disruptive competitors

including nancial technology start-ups and expanding prepaid card companies. As we speak, the industry is going to have to get more efcient in the delivery of products and services, says Gary Norcross, FISs president and chief operating ofcer. With the increased burdens around risk, around fraud, around emerging competitors. That will inevitably cause banks to outsource some of their systems. Norcross projects that by 2015, most banks, if not all of them, will be doing some sort of back ofce processing in the cloud. Banks are going to have to turn themselves more into marketing engines, Norcross says. They are going to have to compete and drive, but because of these non-nancial institution competitors, theyll have to

The attitude of my employees to our clients is a reection of me personally. Either we do it well or we dont do it.
really come into the market in a meaningful way, he says. They are going to have to change the way that they do sales.... And nancial institutions, unless they are in the top 50 in the world, they are not going to be able to completely manage their back ofce. Martire says everyone at FIS is on-board for the change thats on the way. Employees in departments ranging from sales to IT are on call to handle the needs of FISs customers. Thats why FIS only recruits from within the nancial services industry. Martire pledges individually, and to every one of FIS customers that anyone that leaves a message will get a call back in less than 24 hours, even if that call back is from him. What I cant guarantee to you is that we will never make a mistake, says Martire, who speaks in a hushed but stern tone. But what I can tell you is I have zero tolerance for non-responsiveness.

FinTech 100 | Methodology

METHODOLOGY
How the Rankings Are Calculated
IDC FINANcIAL INSIGHTS relied on many sources to gather the data used in the FinTech 100 and Enterprise 25 rankings. The research rm, along with American Banker, Bank Technology News and William Mills Agency, requested nancial information from several thousand technology companies globally. Publicly available resources such as Hoovers, Edgar, company lings, and company Web sites were used to validate and augment data. IDC Financial Insights also used proprietary research, previously published reports, internal research under way, and IDC resources. IDC Financial Insights determined eligible revenue. To be included, revenues must originate from software, hardware and IT services sold to nancial institutions. Not included are revenues from any network, telecommunications, electronic exchanges, or data service (e.g., market/credit) providers. For vendors that provide qualifying services and solutions in addition to nonqualifying ones, we used just the qualifying portion of their revenue as the basis for our rankings. This is why vendors appear on the FinTech 100 list with revenues below 33%. Companies on the FinTech 100 list are nancial services technology providers that derive more than one-third of their total global revenue from the nancial services industry. Enterprise 25 companies are horizontal technology rms that derive less than one-third of their revenues from nancial institutions. IDC Financial Insights and American Banker made a concerted effort to include all possible candidates for the rankings. Some companies in qualifying industries that submitted forms did not make the rankings because of insufcient revenue or inability to validate submitted data. For companies outside the U.S., we calculated U.S. dollar gures using IDCs standard exchange rate for the year end 2011.
