== History ==
FIS was founded in 1968 as Systematics, which was later acquired by ALLTEL Information Services. In 2003, ALLTEL was acquired by the title insurance giant Fidelity National Financial and renamed Fidelity Information Services (FIS). Over the course of the next few years, FIS acquired several other financial services technology firms, including Certegy (2006), eFunds (2007) and Metavante (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 August 2015, FIS acquired SunGard Data Systems, one of the world's largest privately held software and technology services companies, in a cash and stock deal valued at $9.1 billion.
