System & Supplier Selection

Find the compliance technology (and supplier) that best meets your requirements

The concept of selecting a system and supplier that will help to achieving good results

Martin, Business Analyst

"Many vendors will tell you that they have the complete compliance solution.

​

The reality is quite different. There is no system that we are aware of, that provides a full end-to-end compliance solution.

​

Rather, there are a range of different technologies available which need to be used in combination. It is important to understand which of those will deliver the most business value at an affordable cost."

Choosing the right technology is key to achieving the ideal way of working

Across the activities of creation, approval and storage of financial promotions, there are a range of compliance related technologies available. Most companies have some technology in place but, these systems are often time consuming to manage and do not properly meet the business requirements.​

​​

We and our specialist partners, can help you:

​

  • Identify which types of technology will deliver the most value to your organisation. These could include:

    • Rule / decision management systems

    • Systems for managing compliance wording like disclaimer and risk warnings

    • Workflow or work management systems

    • Content checking systems

    • Content storage systems

​​

  • Define the likely costs and benefits of each technology type ... to make sure that there is a strong business case

​​

  • Define business, operational and technology related requirements

​​

  • Identify and select the best system / supplier

Practical support to enable fast and effective selection of the right technology and the right supplier

There are a growing number of IT systems (especially in the area of AI for checking content) that all claim to be the best. Some of those claims will be true ... many will not be true!

​

In order to help you to chose a proven, capable and reliable system and supplier, we can:

​

  • Provide you with an “evaluation matrix” that can be used to help:

    • Define / clarify and prioritise your requirements (regarding the system and the supplier of the system)

    • Evaluate how well potential systems and suppliers can meet your requirements. i.e. help ensure that you select the best system for Ruffer and a supplier who is proven and reliable

 

  • Provide you with a matrix which can be used to evaluate the different types of checks that any system can do e.g. check that a disclaimer is in the correct location

 

  • Introduce you to suppliers (that Athena have personally validated) who can meet all of your mandatory requirements and a high % of all of your other requirements

​

  • Help you evaluate potential products and potential suppliers

​​

  • Assist which contractual negotiations if required

Athena have extensive experience of evaluating content compliance systems
