MONETT, Mo., April 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ:JKHY) is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry. Its Jack Henry Banking™ division announced today that the SilverLake System® received Celent's XCelent Award for functionality. The SilverLake System is the commercial-focused core processing system currently automating approximately 425 banks ranging from community to multi-billion dollar, mid-tier banks.
Celent's XCelent Awards are intended to help financial institutions and technology providers stay abreast of industry trends by evaluating the dynamic vendor marketplace and honoring best-of-breed technology providers. The commercial-focused, highly customizable SilverLake System received top honors based on advanced technology, breadth of functionality, customer base, and depth of client services.
According to Bart Narter, senior vice president of Celent's Banking Group and creator of the awards, "While Celent has always evaluated service and technology providers to the financial services industry with great rigor we have never recognized providers that are performing better than their peers. The XCelent Awards allow providers to publically acknowledge their excellent performance."
Scott Spain, Jack Henry Banking's general manager of core solutions, said, "We consider the contemporary and integrated functionality of our core and complementary solutions; our commitment to incorporate proven new technologies; our large and loyal client base; and our commitment to exceed our clients' service-related expectations as key tenets of success. So it's extremely rewarding to have Celent thoroughly evaluate the core solutions available today and the companies that provide them, and validate our position in the market with an XCelent Award. We consider this award as an important endorsement of the quality of our products and the way we do business."
