Cristina Soviany, CEO Features Analytics
The AI transformation of surveillance programs in financial services is underway and the time for firms to catch the wave of change is now. Those who succeed in leveraging AI technology will be the early adaptors who can recognise the power of the emerging tools, deploy early and make their path to progress in alignment with the technology. Those who miss the push now will have a much greater challenge at some later date.
Features Analytics’ eyeDES® platform represents that new wave of AI technology in trade surveillance. It is so different to the other tools that have dominated the space to date, it’s a true disrupter technology, shifting the paradigm of how trade surveillance is done. It offers the host of benefits the long-promised AI revolution would bring, from cost and time efficiencies to proven effectiveness with real, repeatable results on production data. I’m very pleased to be part of the Features Analytics journey and its impact on the practice of surveillance.
