FIS TM (NYSE: FIS), the world's largest provider of banking and payments technology, announced that it has signed a new multiyear IT managed services agreement with Philadelphia-based Beneficial Bank. Under the new agreement, FIS will provide a full spectrum of technology services for managing the bank's IT operations, including desktop support, inventory management and server operations.

Reflecting a growing trend across the financial services marketplace, Beneficial Bank wanted to focus management time on business operations and gain efficiencies and reduce costs by outsourcing its servers, network, desktop support and telecom to FIS. This change will allow the bank to respond more quickly to customer needs and provide dedicated, round-the-clock customer support.

"To spur growth, financial institutions must focus on the things that differentiate them from their competitors," said Anthony Jabbour, EVP, FIS North American Financial Institutions. "That means turning to a provider who can create operating efficiencies that give these institutions the freedom to focus on what's important to them."

"We were impressed by the breadth and scalability of FIS' outsourcing capabilities," said Rob Maines, EVP, director of operations, Beneficial Bank. "We wanted a single-service provider so we had fewer vendors to work with and could concentrate our time and efforts on building our bank and serving our customers. This partnership offered us one point of contact to meet all of our needs so we could focus our efforts where they belong - on our customers."

With $4.7 billion in assets, Beneficial Bank is headquartered in Philadelphia and is the fifth-largest publicly traded mutual holding company in the U.S.

FIS is a recognized leader in IT outsourcing. Already this year, nearly 350 different companies have begun working with FIS to start or expand IT outsourcing initiatives.
