Pretty telling which core is the "go forward core" when one bank core product is doing substantially better than all the other cores. Clearly the rumors that only one banking core product being favored were true.
The timeline for having the mass 'bank conversion pipeline' functioning is happening much sooner than I was expecting. They are very ambitious with there plans to convert dozens or hundreds of banks simultaneously. This is bad news for everyone who works on a core that is not the 'designated survivor' of the banking cores.
Then, just in case it wasn't obvious enough, they also mentioned that "no one would lose their jobs, they will just move over to the go-forward product". Just a reminder to everyone on Fiserv policy: Not only do you need to work out of the office, you must work out of the specific office that supports your product. Unless you plan on moving to the location that supports "the only surviving bank product", you should be prepared for being let go. They cannot be anymore clear on what is going to happen next.
They say that they plan on having a final-five bank core products, but the financial results show that they really only want one.
