NAPLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 10, 2018-- ACI Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of real-time electronic payment and banking solutions, has received the 2017 European Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award in the payment systems market from Frost & Sullivan, global research company.

Frost & Sullivan’s Competitive Strategy Innovation and Leadership Award recognizes companies that operate with a thorough understanding of market, technical, economic, financial, and customer best practices, and demographic analyses. Its industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices.

“Beyond its expansive portfolio of global market-leading payments solutions, connectors, and gateways, ACI sets the standard for the European payments industry,” said Jean-Noël Georges, global program director, Frost & Sullivan. “ACI commits to sourcing—and investing in—innovative solutions that propel the payments industry forward. Whether it is blockchain technology or the latest in Big Data analytics, the company consistently reinvests in research and development to keep up with the latest emerging technology.”

Frost & Sullivan analysts recognize ACI for its solutions’ flexibility and immense value to its customers. The report highlights that “the white label UP eCommerce Payments solution includes embedded fraud and risk management, as well as a record of boosting conversion rates.
