NICE Actimize ERCM Solutions Recognized as 2016 Operational Risk
Technology Product of the Year (Sell Side) by Risk Magazine

Judging criteria included risk management, innovation, and
quality of service and customer satisfaction

NEW YORK and LONDON – February 23, 2016 – NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the industry's largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, was awarded the 2016 Operational Risk Technology Product of the Year (Sell Side) by Risk Magazine, a leading financial risk management journal, at its recently held 2016 awards ceremony. The award cited NICE Actimize’s leadership and innovation with its Enterprise Risk Case Management (ERCM) solutions platform. Risk Magazine is part of IncisiveMedia Group which includes market leading brands such as Risk.net, Chartis Research and Waters Technology magazine.

This year’s awards consisted of 31 categories, addressing excellence at financial institutions, clearing houses, exchanges and more, with six categories specifically focused on market risk, trading and operational risk technologies. Following its shortlisting process, Risk conducted a series of interviews with potential finalists, as well as with customers and other market participants. The final decisions, made by Risk's editors and journalists, weighed a number of factors, including risk management, creativity and innovation, quality of service and customer satisfaction, and engagement with regulatory issues.

The Risk Magazine Awards editorial profile of NICE Actimize noted, “The vendor's Enterprise Risk Case Management (ERCM) platform is one of the most popular in the sphere of financial crime, with more than 400 customers, including many of the world's largest banks. Since its original launch nearly 15 years ago, the product has evolved to keep pace with industry developments, benefiting from significant investment and innovation. ERCM continues to win plaudits for its ability to integrate with in-house processes and detection systems.”
 
 
 
 

The article also quoted a NICE Actimize customer. “We chose ERCM because it's very flexible with what we want to do, and allows us to create a very good workflow that is specific to the user population we have across geographies. The team has listened carefully and been very attentive to our needs," says a senior IT official at a large European bank that went through a request-for-proposal process with six vendors last year and chose NICE Actimize.
 
“We are pleased that the Risk Magazine editorial team recognized our leadership and innovation in the operational risk management space, and gratified by the support of our global customers that led to this achievement,” said Chad Hetherington, Global Vice President & General Manager, Case Management Solutions, NICE Actimize. “Our position as a market leader has been made possible through continuous product innovation and a steadfast commitment to our customers. This is what makes this recognition so special.”
