Dublin, Ireland – September 1, 2026 – Core Financial Systems and 5Y Technology today announced a strategic partnership focused on finance data transformation, helping organisations connect fragmented financial and operational data to improve reporting, governance and decision-making.
The partnership brings together Core Financial Systems’ more than 25 years of experience in financial management systems, procurement, business intelligence, integration and professional services with 5Y Technology’s Engineering Hub, Universal Data Model and data transformation capabilities. Core Financial Systems has particular expertise in Infor SunSystems and serves organisations across aircraft leasing, the public and not-for-profit sectors, and commercial enterprise.
Through the partnership, Core Financial Systems will make the 5Y Data Platform available as part of its broader financial transformation portfolio. The joint proposition will help organisations connect financial and operational data from ERP, Finance and other enterprise applications into a standardised, governed and analytics-ready data foundation.
This will enable customers to:
- Create a trusted, consistent view of financial and operational performance.
- Reduce manual data extraction, reconciliation and spreadsheet-based reporting.
- Accelerate the delivery of management reports, dashboards and sector-specific analytics.
- Retain data history, lineage and governance throughout the reporting process.
- Build the reliable data foundation required for automation, forecasting and responsible AI adoption.
5Y’s platform-agnostic approach allows customers to retain control over their technology choices, supporting data environments including Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Databricks and Snowflake while applying reusable engineering templates and standardised data structures.
The partnership builds on the companies’ existing collaboration. The 5Y Data Platform has already been introduced to Core customers through Core Customer Day 2026, where 5Y demonstrated how its Engineering Hub can connect, model and govern data while accelerating access to financial and operational insight. Core has also incorporated the 5Y Data Platform into its current technology and innovation portfolio.
“Finance teams are being asked to provide greater control, visibility and strategic insight while managing increasingly complex systems and data environments. Our partnership with 5Y gives customers a practical route from fragmented data and manual reporting to a governed, scalable and insight-led finance function.
“By combining Core’s financial systems and industry expertise with the 5Y Data Platform, we can help customers get significantly more value from their existing technology investments while preparing their organisations for automation and AI.”
Said Karl O’Leary, CEO, Core Financial Systems.
“Core Financial Systems brings deep financial management expertise, trusted customer relationships and an exceptional understanding of complex finance environments. Together, we can provide customers with a reusable and governed data foundation that connects finance with the wider organisation, delivers trusted insight faster and supports their long-term transformation strategy.”
Said James Finnegan, Global Business Development Director at 5Y Technology.
The two organisations will collaborate across customer discovery, solution demonstrations, implementation and ongoing enablement. Initial areas of focus will include financial and management reporting, multi-entity performance, aircraft leasing analytics, operational insight and the preparation of trusted financial data for AI use cases.
The partnership will support organisations on their finance data transformation journey by providing a trusted, governed and analytics-ready foundation for reporting, automation and AI.
