“BFS enterprises are experiencing unprecedented headwinds due to increasing regulatory pressures, emerging risks, rising cost of compliance, and a re-evaluation of risk appetite, associated data, and reporting systems to comply with government-enforced stimuli. BFS firms need a resilient, scalable, agile, and flexible risk management and regulatory reporting architecture to manage the current situation,” according to Ronak Doshi, Vice President, Everest Group. “In this scenario, Wipro has secured a Leader position on the Everest Group BFS Risk and Compliance IT Services PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2020 due to its meaningful AI-based solutions for risk and compliance, such as anti-money laundering and fraud management via the Wipro HOLMESTM platform; client recognition on account of strong commitment to timelines and senior executive thrust to drive strategic alignment; and sustained expansion of the partnership ecosystem with RegTech firms to strengthen risk management platform capabilities.”
