HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NICE Actimize, a NICE (NASDAQ:NICE) business, and leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, has been recognized by Chartis Research and positioned as a Category Leader in its recently released “Financial Crime Risk Management Systems: Know Your Customer, Market Update 2018” research report. The Chartis RiskTech® Quadrant for KYC Solutions report evaluated 22 vendors across two key dimensions: “Completeness of Offering” and “Market Potential”.
As a Category Leader, NICE Actimize’s core strength/advanced capabilities, including customer onboarding and workflow engines, were recognized in the report. Chartis defined workflow automation as systems powered by Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) that reduce much of the repetitive work that KYC analysts engage in (such as document and data retrieval).
Joe Friscia, President, NICE Actimize
"With recent global
regulatory focus on KYC/CDD, we expect that market demand will continue
to increase, with the industry centered on creating a holistic customer
view across the enterprise to achieve a single view of risk. We’re also
anticipating that FSOs will be evaluating and implementing RPA solutions
to expedite the investigation process, increase productivity and reduce
costs of manual labor, especially in the areas of gathering data. NICE
Actimize will continue to provide marketing-leading KYC/CDD solutions to
meet this growing demand.”
According to the Chartis RiskTech® Quadrant for KYC Solutions report, its Category Leaders are defined as combining depth and breadth of functionality, technology and content with the required organizational characteristics to capture significant share in their market. Additionally, Chartis states that its KYC Category Leaders demonstrate a clear strategy for sustainable, profitable growth, matched with best-in-class solutions and the range and diversity of offerings, sector coverage and financial strength to absorb demand volatility in specific industry sectors or geographic regions.
Chartis also noted that its KYC Category Leaders will typically benefit from strong brand awareness, global reach and strong alliance strategies with leading consulting firms and systems integrators.
Rob Stubbs, Head of Research, Chartis
“This year’s Chartis
KYC RiskTech vendor evaluation found that vendor innovation is being
driven by four key technologies and service models: workflow automation,
including Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence
(AI); profile enrichment; consortia and data sharing, in which FIs share
information so that customers onboarded at one FI can be assessed more
rapidly for another institution; and entity resolution and graph
analytics systems to prevent duplicate accounts or identity
impersonation. As a Category Leader in this report, we note that NICE
Actimize is innovating across several of these categories, including
workflow automation and entity resolution.”
