Stuttgart, January 29, 2026 – GFT has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud-Native Core Banking Implementation Services 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc # US51810324, December 2025).

According to the IDC MarketScape, “GFT's major strengths lie in its experience and capabilities with the current generation of cloud-native core banking vendors at a global level and the ability to project its expertise worldwide. Using effective implementation models and migration methodologies, GFT has established itself as highly knowledgeable in holistic transformation projects involving cloud-native core banking solutions and has considerable input into the development of the solution partners GFT works with.” The assessment is based on the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Cloud-Native Core Banking Implementation Services 2025 Vendor Assessment, which evaluates providers on their capabilities and strategies for implementing cloud-native core banking platforms.

“The requirements for core banking systems have changed fundamentally, from stable transaction engines to flexible platforms for innovation, scalability, and regulatory compliance,” said Marco Santos, Global CEO of GFT Technologies. “This confirms that cloud-native core banking has moved from vision to execution — and GFT is a leader in that execution.”
