NICE Actimize Cited for Holistic Surveillance Capabilities, Unmatched Voice Analytics in TABB Group GRC "Data Tsunami" Analyst Report

NEW YORK, June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems NICE business and the largest and broadest provider of financial crime, risk and compliance software for the financial services industry, announced today that the company was positioned as a leading governance, risk and compliance vendor in the TABB Group 2015 Research Note, "The Data Tsunami: Combating the Overwhelming Supply of GRC Data."

TABB Group, the research and strategic advisory firm focused exclusively on capital markets, says in its report, "NICE Actimize differentiates its offering through the depth and breadth of its Trade Surveillance coverage, combined with capabilities around Communications Surveillance (particularly voice analytics) that are unmatched by any other vendor in the industry."

The Actimize Trade Surveillance suite and the NICE Communications Surveillance solution, are each available as standalone products or fully integrated as Holistic Surveillance. The Actimize Trade Surveillance suite covers the full spectrum of asset classes, including cross-market and cross-product surveillance, and it is delivered on top of an enterprise-scale case management platform that is designed for global needs. The NICE Communications Surveillance solution allows firms to use voice, email, instant message, and social media monitoring to provide a holistic view of all trade-related activity data to proactively meet regulation requirements, the report noted.

New technology tools are a key to the compliance puzzle and institutions cannot delay their investments in an integrated approach to data management and analytics, according to TABB. Deploying efficient data management architecture will provide consistent access to real-time, static, and historical data, ensuring users do not have to navigate and reconcile among various legacy systems that only deal with their respective versions of data, the report said.

"Analytics has become critical to effective data management strategies - analytics is no longer a nice-to-have tool, it's a must-have tool," said Shagun Bali, technology research analyst at TABB Group and author of the report. "Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is a large domain for the growing needs of our financial services clientele."

"High-profile lapses in regulatory compliance have reinforced the need to get compliance initiatives right. Consequently, many of these initiatives have moved from relative obscurity within the back office to center stage in the front office," said Joe Friscia, President, NICE Actimize. "NICE Actimize remains committed to providing holistic surveillance and compliance solutions that grow with institutions' ever-changing needs, and which integrate the use of voice, email, instant message, and social media monitoring to provide a holistic view of all trade-related activity."

The Actimize Trade Surveillance suite is a compliance offering designed to monitor the full trade life cycle. It can monitor trade-related communications, analyze relevant news events, and run trading activity through advanced algorithms to determine suspicious activity.

The Actimize Trade Surveillance suite monitors trading activity across business lines and products including equities, fixed income, forex, futures, commodities, and derivatives markets. The solutions offer multi-dimensional coverage of global regulations including Dodd Frank, European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), European Market Abuse Directive (MAD II), and the Codes of Conduct regarding Benchmark Manipulation (UK FCA, US CFTC).
