Due to the distributed nature of DST Global Solutions, it competes with a number of companies in each local region, but very few competitors in all areas. For example Sungard, SimCorp, Linedata Services are all global financial companies, but others, such as CRD and LatentZero have a limited presence outside of the United States and Europe. In Asia, DST competes with Polaris and Tata.

Famous quotes containing the words global and/or solutions:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the world’s problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldn’t they be put to some use, after all?”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
