This year’s RiskTech 100® rankings focused on solutions, industry segments and success factors
December 1st, 2016
“To compete successfully in the rapidly changing risk technology marketplace, vendors need suitable product, technology and business strategies,” said Peyman Mestchian, Managing Partner at Chartis. “New and innovative vendors are finding creative solutions to complex risk management problems, applying artificial intelligence, advanced natural language processing, Big Data infrastructures, and robotic process automation to a variety of compliance activities.”
The Chartis RiskTech100® ranking assessment criteria comprise six equally weighted categories: functionality, core technology, strategy, customer satisfaction, market presence and innovation. This year’s RiskTech 100® rankings focused on solutions, industry segments and success factors. The RiskTech100® only includes companies that sell their own risk management software products and solutions.
“In this highly competitive market, we are pleased to be ranked as a market leader in financial crime risk management,” said Joe Friscia, president of NICE Actimize. “We are unique from the competition in being market-driven and laser-focused on financial crime and compliance, creating technologies to meet and anticipate market demands that reduce operational risk and lower costs for our customers. We enable our clients to tackle their financial crime needs in a unified manner.”
According to the report, expenditures on risk technology reveal an interesting trend – a shift from “knee-jerk” risk IT investment to “smart” investment within the past 12 months.
