SAS an anti-money laundering Leader, says independent research firmCARY, N.C., Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Analytics giant SAS is named a Leader in The Forrester WaveTM: Anti-Money Laundering Solutions, Q3 2019. In its inaugural evaluation of anti-money laundering (AML) technology, Forrester Research calls SAS® Anti-Money Laundering "one of the most scalable" solutions on the market with "powerful … data integration and federation capabilities." Given shifting regulations, evolving threats, and immense and growing volumes of diverse data, using AI and machine learning to rapidly detect and report suspicious activity is fast becoming an AML imperative. According to the Forrester Wave report, SAS software's "supervised and unsupervised machine learning based model development is very intuitive and visual and offers many types of configurable algorithms out of the box." Advanced analytic capabilities like that can help boost AML programs' overall efficiency and effectiveness, including in transaction risk scoring and investigation – even without a requisite army of data scientists./p>
