Profile Systems and Software S.A. (referred to as Profile Software) is a Greek company founded in 1990.[7] Its main activity is the provision of integrated business software particularly for financial institutions.[6]

History

The company was founded in 1990 by Babis P. Stasinopoulos.[2][3][8]

For the first four years, his company operated as a private enterprise. In 1995 it was converted to a public limited company (société anonyme) with an initial capital of 70 Δρ. million. In 1999 its share capital was increased to 1.2 Δρ. billion, while its turnover reached 1.8 Δρ. billion. In the decade that followed, Profile Software has grown to a leading financial software company and one of the 10 largest IT companies in Greece. Its number of employees had exceeded 150.[8]

In August 2003, the company was listed on the Athens Exchange.[9][10] In the following year it completed mergers through acquisition of BeCom and Analysis,[11] as well as acquired a 70% stake in Globalsoft, a market data application provider[12]

In 2007, the company began incorporating the development of two large software products: the Financial Management System (FMS) and the Universal Ticketing Solution (UTS).[13][14]

By 2010, Profile had contracted such companies and organizations as the National Bank of Greece,[15][16] EFG Eurobank,[17] ING, ABN AMRO, Piraeus Wealth Management BNP Paribas, Interlife, Groupama, EPIC Asset Management, Probank, Millennium Bank, and public sector institutions.

Profile Software opened four new offices in major financial centers: Geneva, London, Dubai,[18] and Singapore.[19] It also expanded its promotional and marketing activities through a network of partners in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.[18][19]

In 2013, the company introduced the P2P Lending Software implemented in UK-based crowdfunding firms such as Fiduciam.[20][21][22] In 2015,[23] the company introduced Axia, the omni-channel cloud-based wealth management platform that later on developed to a complete investment management platform offering rich functionality for Family Offices, Asset and Fund Management, Robo-Advisory and more.

In 2016, Profile was selected by Banque Travelex and newly formed Ditto Bank, a new French Digital bank to utilise FMS.next Core Banking platform in their operations. Later on the Bank also selected Acumen-net to manage their Treasury operations. BAC San Jose Puesto de Bolsa also agreed to deploy IMSplus and Axia as their Portfolio Management platform for their operations in Central America.[24][25] Earlier the same year, Profile and its solutions have been included in award reviews by Goodacre.[26] For the following years, the company and its solutions were reviewed and included in reports such as Gartner,[27] and Celent.[28]

In 2017,[29] the company acquired Login SA, a Paris based Treasury software provider. Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Mada Capital and First Abu Dhabi Bank are among the group’s clients.[30][31]
