Wolters Kluwer Finance, Risk & Reporting triumphs in Risk magazine awards for third consecutive year

LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#wolterskluwer–Wolters Kluwer’s Finance, Risk & Reporting (FRR) business has won a major award from Risk magazine. For the third year running its OneSumX for Regulatory Reporting solution has been named Regulatory Reporting System of the Year in the publication’s annual Technology Awards which celebrate excellence and innovation.

The awards, which are widely regarded to be among the most prestigious accolades for financial technology, were decided by an expert panel of judges, including Risk magazine’s editorial team.

OneSumX for Regulatory Reporting combines bank data into a single source of data to ensure consistency, reconciliation and accuracy and includes Wolters Kluwer’s Regulatory Update Service. This unique service is maintained by Wolters Kluwer experts who actively monitor regulation in 30 countries.

Judges commented how Wolters Kluwer FRR “has maintained its strong competitive positioning, as well as preparing smartly and energetically for the future.” The panel also noted how Wolters Kluwer FRR “offers good product and regulatory coverage… [with an] impressive, consistent and convincing solution.”

The award celebrates and recognizes a number of recent innovations for the solution. Last year Wolters Kluwer FRR launched a software-as-a-service (SaaS) regulatory reporting solution with the same functionality as its on-premise product. The service runs on Microsoft Azure, with full platform management by Wolters Kluwer FRR, including ongoing software upgrades, testing and fixes.

At the same time, Wolters Kluwer FRR introduced a major upgrade to its OneSumX Regulatory Engine. The upgrade provides improved performance and better user experience in terms of speed, automation and scalability. It features an enhanced data management layer to deliver full data lineage, as well as integration with OneSumX finance and risk solutions. Clients can now capture source data in regulatory defined reports and run validation, adjustments and auditing before submitting data to regulators.

“We are honored to be recognized for a third consecutive year with this particularly prestigious award. The past 12 months have seen us launch a software-as-a-service regulatory reporting solution, marking the first time that the company’s OneSumX regulatory software has been made available on the cloud, thereby aligning with the cloud technology strategies our customers are adopting,” commented Claudio Salinardi, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Wolters Kluwer FRR. “We have also unveiled a major upgrade to our OneSumX Regulatory Engine, characterized by enhanced performance and better user experience in terms of speed, automation and scalability.”
