Business Architects International is now part of the Sopra Group after the acquisition in 2007. Acting as a specialized lending division within the Sopra Group, Business Architects handles the international lending activities. The lending market has become increasingly challenging with domestic, regional and pan-European initiatives evolving quickly. The pressures on financial institutions come from many directions, as do the business drivers directing strategy; without agile and adaptive IT solutions, it remains difficult to generate strong revenue from the lending market. Our Evolan Lending offerings are the answer to these challenges.

Evolan’s ongoing customer support is evident through our high level of product research and investment ensuring we match our customer demands for the coming years and decades.

In order to constantly refresh our expertise, we are members of multiple trade-bodies such as the EMF and many other domestic federations. These ensure our customers and ourselves are kept abreast of regulatory changes and implications. We sponsor and co-host many major trade-shows such as EFMA, EMF, etc. to further support sector developments and champion initiatives. Further offering feedback to the market, we are an annual jury member for the Annual European Product of the Year Award.

We have the ambition to continue to grow quickly on our traditional markets of Western Europe. There are multiple segments within the market, from large scale international operations to new green-field operations. To match these massive variations we offer appropriate solutions for the 10,000 user operation with millions of loans as well as the 5 user niche operation with a few thousand. Our unique market position allows us to attract the best market experts and our specialisation and size justifies continued product and technology innovation. We have an international view on the market and keep up-to-date on trends, both consumer led and regulatory.

Financial services represent almost one third of the Sopra Group’s global annual revenue of over € 1BN in 2007 and is a core business for the company. Our Evolan Lending offerings are a key in our international growth strategy and include: software products, specialised consultancy and tailored solutions.
