A New Chapter of Growth for Core Financial Systems
The financial technology landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. To not only keep up but lead the charge, we at Core Financial Systems are always seeking ways to sharpen our strategy and strengthen our position in the market. That’s why we’re excited to share that our team recently completed a Strategic Marketing Review (SMR). This initiative, supported by the invaluable resources of Enterprise Ireland and guided by the expertise of Aitheria Partners, marks a pivotal moment in our company’s journey.
A Deep Dive into Strategy
The SMR was far more than just a review, it was a deep and collaborative journey into our business’s core. Through a series of insightful workshops led by Aitheria Partners, we took a structured approach to analysing our business model and business strategy. This process challenged our assumptions and allowed us to look at every aspect of our operations with a fresh perspective.
This deep dive has culminated in a comprehensive document that will serve as a strategic roadmap for our management team. This roadmap is a living guide that will inform our decision-making across all critical areas, including:
- Product Development: Ensuring our solutions are not just innovative but also directly aligned with market needs and customer value.
- Market Positioning: Refining how we present ourselves to the market to differentiate our services and capture new opportunities.
- Customer Acquisition: Optimising our approach to reach and serve new clients effectively.
- Revenue Optimisation: Identifying and leveraging new strategies to drive sustainable growth.
What This Means for Our Clients
This strategic review is a commitment to our clients and potential clients. Our key takeaways from the review are already informing our approach to several critical areas, directly benefiting you:
- Embracing AI and R&D: The review has reinforced our commitment to research and development (R&D), with a particular focus on embracing AI. This will allow us to build more intelligent, automated, and predictive capabilities into our financial systems, providing you with tools to drive efficiency and make smarter, data-driven decisions.
- Enhanced eBusiness Framework Modules: We’re focusing on enhancing our eBusiness Framework modules to provide more robust, user-friendly, and powerful tools that integrate seamlessly with your existing systems, giving you greater control and efficiency.
- Strengthening Our Infor Gold Partnership: As an Infor Gold Partner, our strengthened strategy will allow us to deepen our collaboration with Infor. This ensures we are always at the forefront of the latest product developments and can deliver the highest level of expertise and support for Infor SunSystems.
- Accelerating Cloud Adoption: The review has reinforced the importance of the cloud in the future of finance. We are embracing the cloud more than ever, particularly with Infor SunSystems Cloud. This means we’ll be better equipped to help you leverage the scalability, security, and accessibility of cloud-based solutions, allowing your business to be more agile and resilient.

We also want to extend a special thanks to the team at Aitheria Partners, whose expert guidance throughout the workshops was key to our success. Their insights helped us translate complex concepts into an actionable plan that will drive our company forward.
What’s Next?
With our new strategic roadmap in hand, we are more aligned and focused than ever. We’re confident this plan will not only strengthen our strategic direction but also provide a clear framework for measuring our progress and achieving our goals over the long term. This is an exciting time for Core Financial Systems, and we look forward to sharing our continued progress as we put this new roadmap into action.
