Our Business and Information Architecture Services Can Successfully Support and Develop a Wide Range of Business Initiatives

AML Single View of Customer: Develop an anti-money laundering (AML) information model to identify the data entities and their relations that are required to be collected during the client onboarding process in order for the bank to comply with Anti-Money Laundering, Bank Secrecy Act and Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations. Leverage the model to assess synergies between AML and the enterprise’s view of the customer and identify data governance activities and controls.
