SAS places No. 2 on the Chartis RiskTech100 2025
Friday, November 8, 2024

SAS' second-place finish in the world's most prestigious risk technology rankings is complemented by six solution category awards

CARY, N.C., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SAS has again earned distinction as No. 2 on the Chartis RiskTech100(®) 2025. This marks the second consecutive year that the data and AI leader has placed second overall on the list, widely considered the preeminent annual ranking of the world's Top 100 risk management software and solution providers.

"The well-focused combination of its industry expertise, visionary decisioning strategy and rigorous integrated balance sheet management capabilities were key drivers to SAS' lofty placement in the 2025 RiskTech100," said Sid Dash, Chief Researcher at Chartis. "Its 2022 acquisition of Kamakura Corp. marked the beginning of a new era in SAS' long and storied history of risktech excellence. The advances it has made since strongly signal that SAS will remain at the forefront of innovation."

This marks the 20(th) iteration of Chartis' esteemed list. SAS is notably the only vendor that has placed in the Top 5 every year since the RiskTech100's 2005 debut.

"We, like our customers, are navigating a transformative time, where the pace of change is accelerating - and the pace of SAS' innovation along with it," said Stu Bradley, Senior Vice President of Risk, Fraud and Compliance Solutions at SAS. "For financial firms like banks and insurers, staying competitive in today's environment requires deploying advanced analytics to drive decisions and automation at scale. SAS will continue to push the envelope in developing risk solutions that deliver the insights and capabilities the market needs to tackle its most significant challenges."

Solution awards across the risk spectrum
SAS' robust portfolio of risk management solutions, all powered by SAS' high-performance, end-to-end data and AI platform SAS(®) Viya(®), also topped six Chartis solution award categories, including:

    --  Artificial Intelligence for Banking. AI in banking is quickly morphing
        from a nice-to-have to a non-negotiable tech necessity in areas like
        risk and compliance, fraud and financial crime detection, customer
        service, data management and more. For the second straight year since
        this category award's debut, SAS claimed Chartis' top honors.
    --  Balance Sheet Risk Management. After a nearly decade-long hiatus as a
        risk management focus, rising interest rates and 2023's bank failures
        returned this key component of asset and liability management to the
        spotlight. SAS' capabilities in helping financial institutions manage
        this complex, multidimensional facet of risk emerged as second-to-none.
    --  Behavioral Modeling. A bank's ability to understand and forecast
        customers' behaviors and interactions based on ever-changing factors is
        critical to ensuring financial stability and consumer trust. According
        to Chartis, SAS' AI- and machine learning-fueled statistical
        functionality in this arena outperforms the competition.
    --  Enterprise Stress Testing. Amid today's economic volatility, a bank's
        ability to assess its stability and resilience against potential
        worst-case scenarios is compulsory for effective risk management. SAS
        topped Chartis' enterprise stress testing category for its 
        comprehensive solution for scenario analysis that addresses the entire
        stress test production cycle and provides firms the ability to bring
        risk and finance numbers together into a single view.
    --  IFRS 9. While this set of accounting rules helps improve transparency
        and consistency in banks' financial reporting, the computational
        complexity and workflow sophistication required to comply with its
        mandates is challenging. SAS' risk and finance integration experience
        and domain expertise in this realm earned Chartis' utmost recognition in
        this category.
    --  Model Risk Management (MRM). Effective model risk management is
        essential for safeguarding a bank's financial integrity and helping
        ensure it operates in a responsible and compliant manner. SAS'
        "three-peat" in taking this award for the third consecutive year is a
        testament to its unparalleled capabilities in MRM - capabilities that
        are integral to ensuring the accuracy, fairness and regulatory
        compliance of the AI models that increasingly drive banks' core risk
        functions.
