S1 and Fundtech, The Latest Bank Tech Consolidation

July 14, 2011

Analysis of:CORRECT: Fundtech Agrees To S1 Merger In Deal That Values Co At $318 Million | online.wsj.com

Clearly, bigger is an advantage for bank tech providers. With Fiserv and FIS as the two 800 pound gorillas, the small and mid-tier players need to successfully consolidate to thrive. There is probably room for a third gorilla, and not many good reasons for keeping around the small chimps.

Analysis of:The Kindle is an iPad Accessory, And That's Why It's Still Going to Be Huge | www.businessinsider.com

People own Kindles and iPads. The great thing is that you can read kindle books on your ipad with the kindle reader.
