For a better understanding of how FIS evolved into a world-renowned financial services technology leader, one needs to look back at the company's history.

The company was founded in 1968 as Systematics™, which was later acquired by ALLTEL Information Services, and then bought by title insurance giant Fidelity National Financial® in 2003, who renamed it Fidelity Information Services (FIS). Over the course of the next few years, FIS acquired several other financial technology firms, including Certegy® in 2006, eFunds® in 2007 and Metavante® in 2009.
These acquisitions broadened its reach across the globe, earned FIS a place on the Fortune 500 listing, and positioned the company as the largest technology provider to the global financial industry.

In 2015, FIS acquired SunGard, whose complementary offerings brought FIS into new markets for financial technology services, including asset managers, traders, custodians, treasurers, third-party administrators and clearing agents.

In Q3 2019, FIS acquired Worldpay, a global leader in e-commerce and payments, greatly expanding FIS’ capabilities by enhancing its acquiring and payment offerings and significantly increasing Worldpay’s distribution footprint.

This combination of organic and external growth has positioned FIS among the world's leading technology providers to the capital markets, retail banking and merchant industries. We connect the value chain and use our scale to develop solutions that enable our clients to grow confidently. We help our clients seamlessly adapt to innovations. We share insights and data with one another. We shape better experiences for clients and their customers alike. And we do all of this because at FIS we’re out to lift economies and communities across the world by relentlessly advancing the interests of commerce and the financial world.

Our values are how we work together to deliver our purpose each and every day.

Our Philosophy
We attract, engage and cultivate people who can adapt and thrive in an ever-changing business and technologyspace. With career development tools, resources and opportunities, we're committed to helping our people learn, grow and excel with rewarding careers.

FIS has a very contemporary and global view on inclusion and diversity. We believe diversity encompasses all the differences that make people unique. It's these differences that inform the way each of us interpret and negotiates the world, and how each of us thinks and approaches problems. Inclusion, on the other hand, is about creating the right environment to unlock the power of diversity. When we think of inclusion at FIS, we think of behaviors that signal that diversity is welcome and that no one is to be discounted or diminished because of their differences. It's about fairness, equal opportunity, respect and trust. Inclusion is embedded in FIS' core values and in our views on corporate responsibility.

Our Strategy, Accountability and Monitoring
At FIS, we believe fostering and cultivating an inclusive and diverse workforce is the responsibility of all our employees. This commitment starts at the very top of our organization with our most senior leaders. From our CEO, Chairman and President, Gary Norcross, who is a signatory of the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion™ to our Chief People Officer, Denise Williams, who speaks out the importance of diversity in our industries, our senior leaders are united in championing inclusion and diversity within our workplace, our marketplace and within our local communities.

Under the guidance of our Global Director of Inclusion & Diversity, we achieve this through systematic and consistent consideration of equality and diversity within FIS planning, including but not limited to our hiring, developmental, remuneration, promotion, transfer, engagement and retention efforts. We regularly review our metrics on the demographics and experiences of our colleagues with respect to these efforts and report them to our senior leadership and Board on an ongoing basis. We further use this information to inform, refine, and drive our inclusion and diversity programs and initiatives to attract, develop, and retain an inclusive and diverse workforce.

Our Inclusion Networks
Inclusion Networks are company-sponsored, colleague-led communities of empowered and determined colleagues who share common interests, backgrounds, or experiences. They are committed to supporting the pursuit of excellence of their respective members while positively impacting FIS, our clients, the FinTech industry and the communities where we serve, live, and work. Further, these groups work in concert with our global Inclusion & Diversity vision to promote the company’s overall mission, goals, and values by focusing on activities and initiatives that foster a visibly inclusive work environment.
Currently, we have inclusion networks that are connected around areas such as gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender identity, working families, and early career – with new groups continuing to emerge and form across the company. Inclusion Networks are open to all colleagues who are interested in participating.

Our inclusion networks provide opportunities for our colleagues to:
- Champion inclusion and diversity
- Help attract top talent
- Shape our culture
- Connect and support each other
- Develop power skills
- Serve as leaders
- Drive innovation and collaboration
- Engage with our clients and partners
- Support and serve our communities

Supplier Diversity
FIS believes in offering equal opportunity to suppliers based on their individual merits. We maintain methods to track and report supplier diversity information.
FIS is committed to fostering a culture that embodies the diversity of all our people around the world and encouraging respect for individual differences, fairness and equality of opportunity.

Our Partners & Recognition
Just as FIS' products and solutions lead the industry, we aim for our inclusion and diversity practices to do the same. We are proud to be named one of the "Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality" by the Human Rights Campaign and to partner with organizations like CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion and Hirepurpose to deliver on our commitments.

Building a Talent Pipeline
FIS recognizes the importance of developing qualified workforce to build the future of FinTech, therefore we support educational and internship programs to create a talent pipeline. We are a founding partner of the Georgia FinTech Academy, the Northeast Florida Fintech Initiative, and similar programs in Ohio to help increase the number of students pursuing college degrees related to FinTech.

Fostering Employee Engagement and Innovation
At FIS, we gather feedback from colleagues in a variety of ways including both online tools and in-person settings such as people surveys, quarterly town halls, and Inclusion Networks. We use this feedback to refine our employee engagement programs to improve experiences and ensure our culture comes to life across our global workspaces. We nurture innovation at FIS through innovation labs around the world, which serve as entrepreneurial “garages” where our engineers develop cutting-edge new products. Our annual hack-a-thon, InnovateN48, is a worldwide colleague coding competition that sparks creativity and builds collaboration to enhance our products and solutions for clients.

Developing Future Leaders
FIS uses an innovative system, Performance365, to help colleagues set goals, receive continuous feedback, and measure performance on a regular basis. We are focused on developing and promoting high-performing colleagues, and offer extensive leadership training. Our Manager Excellence program and Lead.Explore.Aspire.Develop (LEAD) program develop skills for managers and leaders across the company regardless of their function or location.

Not only is it one of our five guiding principles, but our passionate employees are always looking for new ways to support the community. From donation drives and food collection to walks, runs or building new homes, this selflessness is built into FIS culture.

Our very own Troy Bradley, SVP, Chief Technology Officer, shares the launch and rebrand of Hackathon - now known as FIS InnovateIn48!
