Commenting on the Company’s performance Mr. Vishnu R. Dusad, CEO, Nucleus Software said, “I am happy to report that the company is continuing to make steady progress on its strategy. Strategic investments and partnerships in the last quarter have provided us with great opportunities to grow and to continue our mission to help our customers succeed. In Q2 Magma FinCorp Ltd., a leading Non Banking Finance Company (NBFC), became the latest addition to our growing customer base of innovative companies. Magma FinCorp will implement FinnOne Neo^TM to power its loan origination and loan management operations. During the quarter we released new versions of our key products targeted specifically for Mutuals and NBFCs. We have further strengthened our leadership team with senior appointments. I am confident of the quarters ahead as we continue to build on our sales and marketing activities around the world.”

In the second quarter, the company launched new versions of its award winning lending solution FinnOne Neo^TM. The new releases have been designed to meet the needs of the Mutual sector in Australia and the Non Banking Financial Company sector in India. Powered by FinnOne Neo^TM, these new solutions are comprehensive, technologically advanced and are designed to manage the complete loan lifecycle – from designing and launching innovative products in minutes to dramatically reducing exposure to risk. With cloud-based deployment options, the solutions provide an effective mechanism to overcome the high upfront investment often associated with the latest technologies.

The company built on its strategic alliance to deliver the lending solution, FinnOne Neo^TM, on the Microsoft Azure platform to provide banks and finance companies with an advanced lending solution that is secure, scalable and responsive to changing customer demands. Nucleus Software also built on its global alliance with Red Hat during its “Shaping The Future of Lending For Non-Banking Finance Companies” seminar.
