SINGAPORE, April 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems
(NASDAQ:NICE) business and the largest and broadest provider of
financial crime, risk and compliance software solutions for the
financial services industry, was twice named a Silver Winner in
both the "Best B2B PR Campaign" and "Best Content" categories in
the 2015 PR Awards competition announced in Singapore. Sponsored by Marketing
Magazine, a leading Asian publication for advertising and marketing
professionals, the PR Awards is the premier event celebrating
excellence across the public relations spectrum in Southeast Asia and recognizes brands that have
pushed themselves towards measurable success, through sound and
strategic communications.
Both awards highlighted NICE Actimize's "Cultivating a Culture
of Compliance" campaign launched last year and developed on behalf
of the firm's Anti-Money Laundering line of business. The
multi-faceted campaign featured its own micro-site, a user survey
that addressed financial services firms' readiness for embarking
upon a culture of compliance, and a series of white papers and blog
posts aligned to the topic. The theme was also featured at a range
of customer events and webinars.
The competition's panel of 20 judges was comprised of a range of
major brands and industries representing financial services,
technology and telecommunications, hospitality and consumer
packaged goods businesses. The judges examined key campaign
criteria including key challenge, strategy, execution and results
in determining category winners.
"As we further grow our financial crime and compliance business
in Asia-Pacific, we are pleased to
accept this acknowledgment of our focus on an important topic. The
current enforcement environment is demanding more of anti-money
laundering risk management efforts and has moved compliance higher
on the business agenda," said Joe
Friscia, President of NICE Actimize. "We believe that an
enterprise-wide approach to integrating anti-money laundering
functions is key to establishing a thriving culture of
compliance."
"We are honored that our continued effort in Southeast Asia to foster a culture of
compliance has been acknowledged by the PR Awards committee," said
Raghav Sahgal, president of
NICE APAC. "As NICE further builds
its relationships for our compliance products and services in the
region, we will continue to support our customers' efforts to
integrate a culture of compliance into their organizations in order
to better meet the needs of increasing regulatory demands."
