How can RegTech transform core regulatory processes? The key difference between a traditional solution and a We expect RegTech solutions to be primarily based on one of RegTech solution is agility. RegTech solutions are more the following four dimensions: nimble, flexible and aren’t built on ‘locked-down’ requirements 1) Efficiency and collaboration as typically seen in more traditional solutions. In addition, 2) Integration, standards and understanding RegTech solutions tend to be flexible and cloud based, which means data is remotely maintained, managed and backed 3) Predict, learn and simplify up, resulting in more scalable and flexible performance with 4) New Avenues reduced costs. As the RegTech phenomena matures, we believe that it will help drive convergence within control functions as many tasks can now be automated thereby reducing operational risks associated with meeting regulatory compliance reporting obligations. This is only the tipping point of efficiencies offered by RegTech.
