GFG GROUP - E-NEWS - March 2006
Welcome to our online update for GFG customers and partners
In this issue we look at how ASB Bank used GFG:FINsim to take what it describes as an 'exponential leap' forward in its ability to test new code and predict system behaviour. The story titled 'GFG Group signs million dollar deal' is kindly reprinted from the front page of Computerworld - it provides a newsy roundup of recent market activity. This month's Goldfinch Report analyses the dead bodies of failed prepaid or stored value payment schemes, and contrasts them with some notable successes. As usual, these sometimes controversial reports carry the disclaimer that they represent the personal opinion of Peter Goldfinch, rather than the views necessarily of GFG Group. We hope you'll find this update worthwhile. Please do send me your comments and feedback.
Best regards,
Marie Tamplin-Woods
