Risk.net is among the world's foremost news and analysis websites covering risk management tools and technology as well as regulation and compliance topics for the financial sector. Its annual Risk Technology Awards honor tech vendors that have outperformed in helping the industry meet its regulatory obligations and overcome challenges in the anti-money laundering, credit and operational risk, and enterprise risk management arenas.

The judging panel, comprised of technology users and the editors of Risk.net, praised SAS for "proactive and continuous innovation" and "feature and benefit rich" products and solutions. One judge remarked that SAS was "way ahead of coming regulations and frameworks," with offerings that "address major pain points for banking customers such as reducing backlog, adding standardization, and common models and assumptions to drive analytics." Another noted that the "differentiator as usual with SAS is quality of architectural design of content, platform and platform components."

SAS' array of award-winning solutions integrates seamlessly via SAS Risk Stratum. The cloud-ready risk management software platform provides a single source of the truth across departments and consistent, role-specific user experiences across risk solutions.

"Not since the 2008 financial crisis, and maybe not even then, has the industry faced such disruption and uncertainty, which makes these accolades particularly resonant – not for the recognition so much as the customer successes they represent," said Troy Haines, Senior Vice President and Head of Risk Research and Quantitative Solutions at SAS. "Almost overnight, risk models and the data upon which they were built became unreliable. And yet, through their SAS investments, our customers quickly recalibrated their risk compasses and have seen themselves through the crisis, many of them on stronger footing, all while helping their own customers survive and recover."
