The FTF News 2015 Technology Innovation Awards recognize

achievements in operational excellence in 2014. NICE Actimize was
short-listed in four separate categories. The Best AML/Anti-Fraud

demonstrated how its offerings help financial services firms detect
money laundering, comply with domestic and international sanctions
and implement strategies to counter illegal money movement and
related interactions. The winning solution further helps firms
combat insider trading and internal fraud.
The award for the Best Cutting-Edge Solution recognizes the
supplier that is committed to developing innovative financial
technology solutions for middle and back-office operations. The
category judged a range of groundbreaking, standalone offerings and
cutting-edge combinations of both new and established
technologies.
"We had more than 250 nominations overall and nearly 10,000
votes, making this year's awards season the most competitive FTF
has ever seen," said Maureen Lowe,
Founder and President of FTF. "The winners should all be
congratulated for their hard work and achievements in 2014 as there
are so many great companies with excellent products facing tough
competition in the Ops space. So, to be recognized as being the
best by the industry itself is something to be truly proud of."

they were a direct result of voting by the readers of the

crime solutions," said Joe Friscia,
