According to Gartner, "Leaders in the GRCB market tend to possess a high-order market understanding - that is, they make it their business to monitor market trends, funneling progressive innovation into their product road maps. About half of this group either possesses software development quality certifications (such as CMMI) or is pursuing them. Without exception, the Leaders are progressively 'thinking small' or targeting component-based architecture as a gateway to providing increased accessibility to the granular functionality that banks need to drive the basis for differentiation."

Andy Dey, President - Customer and Operations, EdgeVerve:
