  • Annual Report 2008 W O R L D W I D E Fellow Shareholders
    end-to-end solutions for secure electronic payments annual report 2008 W O R L D W I D E Fellow Shareholders, 2008 was a year of change in the macro economy and in our customer base, particularly in the financial services client segment. One significant outcome of the banking crisis of 2008 was the realization in the marketplace that the payments business is critical to banking sector profitability. Payments are now crucial to the health and success of financial firms and will drive banking competition in the future. ACI is well placed to grow its electronic payments software business as our end users recognize the critical nature of our intellectual property offering. Simply speaking, the turmoil in the markets has underscored the advantage our products provide; ACI implements services and technology that manages the liability and deposit side of financial institutions and large processors. In a world where our customers need to rebalance their business models, ACI solutions are pivotal to their profitability and growth. As I shared with you in last year’s letter, ACI has broadened the company’s focus to emphasize more complete solutions that offer an end-to-end framework for integrated payments. The thesis that our customers could and would invest in multiple products was proven correct by our strong 2008 operating business performance. ACI has been fortunate insofar as we repositioned our business during the 2006 and 2007 fiscal years. Hence, looking back at October 2007 when the US equity markets peaked, our business model was not yet fully operational and our share price was not mirroring the market’s lofty performance.
