SAS Named Best Anti-Money Laundering Solution

Waters magazine ranks SAS as the leader in anti-money laundering category

Dublin, Ireland, 10. Jul. 2006 -  As part of the July Waters rankings issue, SAS, the leader in business intelligence, was selected by readers of Waters magazine as the best anti-money laundering solution provider. More than 500 readers voted on the best financial information technology vendors and awarded SAS 38.1 percent of the vote for the anti-money laundering compliance category. SAS also ranked second in the best operational risk compliance category.

"SAS strives to ensure our customers' success through focused business solutions and world-class expertise," said David Stewart, Director of SAS' Anti-Money Laundering Program. "This award is a testament that we are addressing the specific industry pains of our financial services customers worldwide, and that our hard work and commitment are appreciated."

Installed directly or accessed through an application service provider, SAS Anti-Money Laundering is a sophisticated anti-money laundering solution that can take mountains of information from all areas of a financial business, manage and refine that information, and turn it into usable knowledge that will help a business identify and classify suspicious behaviour efficiently and accurately. It can help institutions meet stringent government regulations, protect shareholder confidence and maintain a strong reputation. The solution offers an integrated and open-ended architecture that lets organisations gather information across data sources, transform the appropriate data into real intelligence, detect suspicious activity and accurately alert investigators and authorities.

SAS also provides a user group for its anti-money laundering customers, enabling them to share best practices and knowledge as a community.

Since its launch in 1993, Waters has been relied on by financial technology professionals worldwide for focused, in-depth coverage of financial market data and technology.
