Sell-Side Technology Awards 2022: Best sell-side market surveillance product—Nice Actimize
OVERVIEW
Nice Actimize’s Surveil-X Holistic Conduct Surveillance platform provides surveillance coverage with both AI-powered and traditional expert rule-based analytics, and advanced visualization tools, all on a cloud-native platform that enables more accurate and efficient risk detection.
The Surveil-X platform is designed to:
- Ensure global regulatory coverage for all asset classes and exchange-traded, OTC and crypto currencies
- Enable intent-based detection of market abuse, including cross-market and cross-product analytics
- Provide efficient investigations with intuitive alerts and explainable results, and market visualization enabling quick decisions of potential risks
- Deliver customizable detection models with a self-development analytics toolkit
“We purchased the Surveil-X solution in early 2021, after a brief and successful proof-of-value. A key reason for the selection of Surveil-X was the self-service analytics capabilities the solution offered. Throughout the entire process, the Nice Actimize team took our feedback, and has already introduced new features that enabled us to develop models we plan for coverage and also to improve the user experience. We are now ramping up our model development for use across Ireland, England, China, and the US, and the speed and ease at which our team has been able to develop the models gives us such confidence for the future.”
