Strengthening risk and compliance in the banking industry is a top priority for financial institutions. Every year, banks and financial services organizations spend a significant part of their revenue in mitigating risk and complying with the growing set of regulatory and operational compliance requirements.

Currently, regulators are driving banks to play a more effectual role in risk management. As an effect, organizations are spending millions on upgrading to an integrated platform to manage risk and compliance. Meanwhile, as the adoption and impact of big data and cloud escalates in the technology arena, financial institutions are also shifting from legacy solutions to state-of-the-art technology. To help banks promptly identify potential risks and initiate adequate steps to mitigate them and prevent loss, various solution providers are offering novel risk and compliance management solutions. While the software providers offer numerous risk and compliance solutions, the differences in their features and use cases make it difficult for banks to choose the most suitable solution.
