NICE Actimize Showcases How Intelligent eComms Surveillance Is Transforming Compliance and Conduct Risk Management in Its Global Event Series

​Hoboken, N.J., September 11, 2018 – NICE Actimize, a NICE (NASDAQ: NICE) business and the leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, is hosting a series of global events to educate financial services organization (FSO) professionals on the challenges of electronic communications (eComms) surveillance and which are designed to demonstrate how its innovative Intelligent eComms Surveillance solution can transform compliance and conduct risk management, while avoiding reputational damage and fines. By attending any event in the NICE Actimize Global Event Series, executives will get a first-hand look at the regulatory compliance landscape and learn how to achieve compliance more efficiently and to mitigate burgeoning conduct risk.

"As the volume and variety of regulated communications increases, surveillance challenges are becoming substantially more complex," said Chris Wooten, Executive Vice President, NICE. "NICE Actimize's Intelligent eComms Surveillance solution automates the entire surveillance and investigation process, from detection to resolution, for all communications, so firms can meet their regulatory obligations more efficiently while avoiding reputational damage and fines. With this increased risk and complexity top of mind, we are providing deeper insights and a closer look at how to address these issues within this global series of educational events."    

Powered by artificial intelligence and automation, NICE Actimize's Intelligent eComms Surveillance solution is a comprehensive platform for automating employee surveillance and investigations. The solution provides a single platform for monitoring 100 percent communications across all communication channels, including voice, so analysts can easily uncover hidden conduct risks, collusion, and insider trading.

​As an open, agnostic platform, NICE Actimize's Intelligent eComms Surveillance solution supports hundreds of data types and can connect to, ingest and index data from storage vaults containing emails, instant messages, chat room communications, social media threads, text messages and voice calls. With integrated Trade Reconstruction, compliance analysts can automatically reconstruct complete communication and trade timelines. A single surveillance platform reduces operational, infrastructure, support, training and maintenance costs.

NICE Actimize's Intelligent eComms Surveillance solution uses Natural Language Understanding (text analytics and linguistics), machine learning and intelligent analytics (all fine-tuned for financial markets) to comprehend the true context of conversations and accurately identify risk. Risk detection models analyze communications (across dozens of languages) for misconduct scenarios, including collusion, bragging, insider trading, and market manipulation. Risky communications are automatically flagged, scored and prioritized for policy review.

This systematic approach enables firms to identify suspicious communications with unprecedented accuracy, and has been proven to reduce false positives by as much as 50 per cent. Since surveillance often culminates in a costly investigations process, the eComms surveillance solution also includes NICE Actimize's integrated case management to automate the investigation process.

Hosted executive seminars and webinars are the focal points of this ecommunications educational series. The live webinar will be executed in association with Financial Technologies Forum, a prominent industry resource for industry insights and education. The webinar will feature leading subject matter experts from NICE Actimize and Accenture. Live networking events will take place in London and Singapore throughout September and October and are designed to provide a dialogue on regulatory compliance, increased audit responsiveness and reduced fines while providing a first-hand look at NICE Actimize's Intelligent eCommunications solution.
