NICE Actimize positioned highest in the industry for "Completeness of Offering" among global vendor landscape with its full lifecycle monitoring, from onboarding to transaction and sanctions monitoring capabilities

NEW YORK, May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the largest and broadest
provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the
financial services industry, announced today that the company was positioned as a Category
Leader in the Chartis RiskTech Quadrant[TM] for Anti-Money Laundering Solutions.
Additionally, its suite of Anti-Money Laundering solutions received the highest position
in terms of "completeness of offering" within the global vendor landscape. Chartis
provides research and analysis on the global market for risk management technology.

    The report, which covers the competitive market landscape of AML vendors and
technologies, uses Chartis's proprietary RiskTech Quadrant(TM) to explain the structure of
the market. The RiskTech Quadrant(TM) uses a comprehensive methodology of in-depth
independent research and a scoring system to explain which technology solutions meet an
organization's needs.

    According to the Chartis report, there is a significant long-term trend towards
increased AML regulations and stricter supervision. Chartis notes that financial
institutions need to be able to cope with more screening, a higher volume of watch-list
names, and stricter regulation.

    "In updating their AML systems, financial institutions are looking to take advantage
of recent innovations, such as more advanced analytics and real-time technologies," said
Peyman Mestchian, Managing Partner at Chartis Research. "NICE Actimize's ongoing
investment in product and service innovation has positioned it a leader in AML solutions."

    "The anti-money laundering regulatory environment has evolved dramatically in the past
few years. We are seeing unprecedented requirements and penalties worldwide," said Amir
Orad, president and CEO of NICE Actimize. "NICE Actimize remains committed to ongoing
investments that will enable firms to address the increasingly challenging regulatory
landscape. We are honored that our commitment, global leadership and deep expertise has
once again been recognized by Chartis."

    Chartis defines 'Category Leaders' as those risk technology vendors that "have the
necessary depth and breadth of functionality, technology, and content, combined with the
organizational characteristics to capture significant market share by volume and value."
Additionally, the report states, Category Leaders can address the needs of very large
clients with complex risk management and technology requirements, as well as addressing
the needs of smaller clients with standardized requirements looking for integrated
solutions from a single vendor.

    In establishing the criteria for the "completeness of offering" designation, Chartis
considered five critical attributes including depth of functionality, which included level
of sophistication, detailed features and user-friendliness; breadth of functionality; data
management and technology.

    The Actimize Anti-Money Laundering solutions suite offers end-to-end coverage of
anti-money laundering regulations, and includes full lifecycle monitoring from onboarding
to transaction and sanctions monitoring capabilities. The suite combines focused models,
rules and profiles with advanced analytics to help financial institutions comply with
anti-money laundering regulations from agencies around the world, and covering such
additional functions as identification of suspicious activities and high-risk customers.
The Actimize FATCA Compliance solution enables complete lifecycle assessment to identify,
manage, and report on the FATCA status of customers, business entities, and owners. The
company's proven expertise and packaged offerings are dedicated to banking, securities,
insurance and regulatory bodies.
