NICE Actimize Positioned as a Category Leader in the 2018 Chartis RiskTech Quadrant® for KYC Solutions, Gaining High Scores in Customer OnBoarding and Workflow Engines
Chartis defined workflow automation as systems powered by Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) that reduce much repetitive work
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.”
