Cambridge, UK – 1 September 2010 - Increasing incidents of money laundering, tax avoidance, fraud, and growing pressure from the US, France, Germany and other countries, is forcing the Swiss banking industry to review its policies around banking transparency and compliance with international regulatory compliance regimes. As a result, the ability to screen customers against global sanctions lists and identify PEPs (Politically Exposed Persons) has never been more important, according to risk and compliance screening and data management specialist, Datanomic.

The Swiss banking industry is under increasing pressure to reconsider its tradition of banking secrecy in order to comply with international regulatory regimes protecting against money laundering, terrorism financing and tax evasion; and avoid the possibility of international prosecution, regulatory fines, and corporate reputational damage.

“Screening against sanctions lists and identifying PEPs is now paramount in today’s regulatory business climate, and especially for the Swiss banking industry in light of stricter reporting against money laundering,” said Dr Jonathan Pell, CEO of Datanomic. “However, Swiss banks will want to continue to preserve client confidentiality whilst creating complete auditability for regulators. Our dn:Director for Sanctions & PEP Screening not only enables banks to host and manage the solution in-house under their own control, but they can also restrict access to hierarchical levels of customer data to authorized users within their compliance teams to ensure complete customer confidentiality. The complete auditability of the decision and case history for every review within dn:Director also ensures easy compilation of any information they might need to send to a regulator.”

According to the Swiss Federal Department of Justice and Police, reports on suspicious financial transactions increased by 5.3 per cent last year and concerned assets relating to 2.23 billion Swiss francs. With many governments feeling the pinch from the economic downturn and seeking to decrease deficits, focus is quickly turning to rooting out domestic tax evaders with secreted wealth, meaning pressure is mounting on Swiss banks to participate more openly in the global drive against financial crime. Such a move would inevitably require an increase in the importance of screening of customers for regulatory compliance.

The dn:Director for Sanctions & PEP Screening solution offers exceptional accuracy for proactive risk protection, whilst minimising ‘false positives’ (potential matches requiring additional manual assessment) which can often be a burdensome bi-product of other automated screening solutions. Different processes and risk profiles across business units can be accommodated by the dn:Director solution to allow for complete tailoring to match the Compliance procedures of every client. It also provides an electronic ‘results book’ providing a full audit trail of Sanctions & PEP screening activity for compliance reporting.

Datanomic’s dn:Director for Sanctions & PEP Screening software is used to screen in excess of five billion client records every month, in more than 100 countries.  The solution is the de facto standard for risk and compliance screening for the UK financial services sector, and has already been implemented by some of the world’s largest banks, insurers, asset and wealth managers and other financial services institutions to reduce their global Compliance risk, and this pattern is now spreading to other industries.

Cambridge, UK – 24 August 2010 - Data Management specialists, Datanomic, today announced that Clarify, the Sales Cycle Development company, has selected dn:Director to improve the data quality and profiling of its customer prospect data and gain a ‘Single View’ of every company. Clarify will be offering the Single View and data profiling functionality as an added value data management service to its customers, which will be formally launched in October 2010.

Data is often generated and entered into multiple locations throughout an organisation and held in discrete, incompatible systems. This disjointed data structure can prevent organisations from being able to gain valuable insight into their customer and prospect databases. Human error, differing formats and standards can further complicate the management of data records. These complications can be especially damaging to the success of any new business initiatives, prospect pipeline development and marketing campaigns.

“Our business is focused on finding opportunities for our clients through consultative sales engagement and in depth profiling of new and existing customers. We work with sales channels to build quality sales pipelines, and support client marketing activities aimed at target accounts,” said David Meyer, Managing Director for Clarify Solution Selling Ltd. “We often find that the underlying prospect or customer data is duplicated, out of date, incomplete or not fit for business purpose. We selected dn:Director as a means of offering our clients an added value service for the management of their data. dn:Director gives us a reliable, proven platform for delivering this service to our clients, which will provide both operational savings and more accurately targeted campaigns.”

Datanomic’s dn:Director is an easy-to-use data enhancement tool which allows line-of-business managers and data stewards to combine and merge data resources, automatically resolving inconsistencies of format or taxonomy, highlighting gaps or errors in the data, and ultimately enabling them to generate a reliable ‘Single View of the Truth’ against which accurate analysis can be performed.

“Many organisations now understand the connection between the accuracy and quality of their data and the results they can expect from any lead generation and future pipeline development activities,” said Jeremy Lovett, Vice President, Data Management Applications for Datanomic. “However, not every organisation has access to the tools and processes to ensure these issues are properly addressed. By using dn:Director, Clarify will be able to provide its customers with an additional service aimed at maintaining fit-for-purpose data and gaining a Single View of its customers and prospects. This will not only save time and reduce operational costs, but it will also yield greater, more targeted returns from business development campaigns and ongoing marketing activities.”

Described by industry analysts as “arguably the most flexible data quality product,” Datanomic’s dn:Director provides a single, unified platform that enables both business and IT personnel, such as data stewards, business analysts and owners of data, to identify and rectify compromised data which can place operations at risk. As a single product that encompasses profiling, analysis and transformation, dn:Director enables better understanding, improvement, protection and control of data quality for all types of structured and non-structured, real-time and non-real time information.

dn:Director will improve the quality of key elements of RFU’s data records such as address, email and phone numbers of database members, including referees, players, coaches, administrators, first aiders and club chairmen, and all affiliated persons associated with the sport. dn:Director will also validate information gained following Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks, which enables organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors to make safer recruitment decisions by identifying candidates who may be unsuitable for certain work, such as working with children or vulnerable adults. dn:Director’s reporting metrics and dashboard features will be used to deliver higher data quality improvements and reporting on a monthly basis via a number of key admin staff.

Nick Bunting, Head of Public Affairs, Planning, Funding and Resources, The Rugby Football Union, commented, “Following the implementation of a new customer relationship management (CRM) system and consolidation of 23 databases into a single system, dn:Director dovetails well into our architecture and ensures all our data is current, valid and gives us confidence that the data we hold is correct so we can fully utilise it to our advantage as an organisation. Since deploying in March 2010, dn:Director is delivering better visibility and increased accuracy of our data.”

Cambridge, UK – 26 July 2010 – Risk & Compliance Screening and Data Management specialist, Datanomic, today announced that it has signed a strategic technology alliance with The CJK Dictionary Institute (CJKI), one of the world’s leading providers of Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic lexical databases. The partnership enables Datanomic to integrate CJKI’s Database of Arab Names in Arabic (DANA) and Database of Arab Names (DAN), which covers seven million Arabic names and their variants,  within its award-winning dn:Director for Sanctions & PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) Screening software to enable financial services companies located within or trading with the Arabic-speaking world to reliably and accurately match their Arabic data against Sanctions and Watch Lists.

With numerous compliance directives around fraud prevention and crime, financial services organisations have had to fortify their systems against access by money launderers, criminal gangs, known terrorists and entities whose activities may compromise foreign policy or national security. Increasingly sophisticated concealment efforts by such groups mean that even with purportedly cutting edge technology solutions, the cost and complexity of matching customer records against the millions of names within international Sanctions, Watch Lists and PEP lists can become a major administrative burden for compliance departments. When the complexity of data held in several different languages, the fact that most international and commercial lists are in Latin characters, the multiple variants of Arabic script transliterations, and even common spelling mistakes are factored into the checks, it’s clear to see that global enterprises face a significant linguistic challenge.

“Most existing solutions on the market fall short of the accuracy required because their transliteration/transcription capability is too basic, and because they do not recognise the massive number of variant Latin forms of Arabic names,” said Dr. Jonathan Pell, CEO, Datanomic. “This has often resulted in companies adopting a manual process for checking data against Sanctions lists that is extremely time consuming, almost impossible to scale as lists grow, and prone to error, leaving the organisation open to reputational and financial risk. Our alliance with CJKI spells the future of multi-language matching and reliable transcription.”

“By embedding our resources, Datanomic is significantly enhancing its own software technology and we believe that gives them a huge advantage over their competition. Their enhanced ability to recognise more variants of Arabic names ensures even greater accuracy of results, essential when the stakes for financial organisations are so high,” said Jack Halpern, CEO, The CJK Dictionary Institute. “With our new database of over seven million entries, Datanomic customers can be confident that any potential false negatives will not go undetected.”

Datanomic intends to expand its alliance with CJKI to include extensive Chinese, Japanese and Korean lexical resources to provide market-leading linguistic matching within the Asia Pacific region, into which it has recently extended its sales operations.

Datanomic’s dn:Director for Sanctions & PEP Screening software is used to screen in excess of five billion client records every month, in more than 100 countries.  The solution is the de facto standard for risk and compliance screening for the UK financial services sector, with several of the top ten global Retail Banks, half of the UK’s top ten Wealth/Asset Managers, one of the London Stock Exchange’s oldest stockbroking firms, and some of the UK’s largest Insurance companies all using its technology.

About CJK Institute, Inc.

The CJK Dictionary Institute, Inc. (CJKI) specializes in Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) and Arabic lexicography. The principal activity of CJKI is the development and continuous expansion of lexical databases of general vocabulary, proper nouns and technical terms for CJK languages, containing over 20 million entries. CJKI has also developed databases and romanisation systems of Arabic proper nouns, the world’s most comprehensive Spanish-English dictionary, Vietnamese dictionaries, and various others. In addition, CJKI offers a full range of professional consulting services on CJK linguistics and lexicography. www.kanji.org/cjk/index.htm

Cambridge, UK – 22 July 2010 – Enterprise data management and compliance specialist, Datanomic, will participate as an exhibitor at the TDWI World Conference 2010 (http://tdwi.org/SD2010) at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego, August 15-20, 2010 (Booth 408). Datanomic will be showcasing the company’s collaborative and single view approach to data management, built on the core functionality of dn:Director, helping data stewards and data analysts to seamlessly resolve issues with data consistency and standardization that underpins business-critical applications.

“Most organizations are still struggling with inaccurate or incomplete data spread across disparate silos and systems. Despite investing in Business Intelligence, Master Data Management and Data Warehouse technologies, many have not solved the existing underlying data problems around Single Customer View,” said Jeremy Lovett, Vice President Data Management Applications for Datanomic.  “However, achieving a single view of customer data not only increases customer service levels, but also de-risks data migration projects. Datanomic’s dn:Director software sits on top of solutions such as Master Data Management and Business Intelligence, allowing organizations to orchestrate how business rules and data governance should be implemented, saving considerable manual time and effort through its automation.”

Datanomic’s Enterprise Data Management software, dn:Director, helps global organizations improve operational performance, maintain regulatory compliance, streamline business processes, minimize risk and seize more opportunities. dn:Director’s flexibility and ease-of-use enables business owners of data and technical teams to collaborate on business-critical data issues, identifying and eradicating problems in customer, financial and product data, across any database, via a central console.

Cambridge, UK – 16 July 2010 – Compliance and data management specialists, Datanomic, today announced the availability of its dn:Director for HR solution, designed specifically to assist  Global Human Resources (HR) Directors and their teams to quickly and easily resolve errors in their employee data and build an accurate ‘Single View of Employee’ (SVE).  Bringing data from multiple discrete and often incompatible systems, the SVE created by dn:Director for HR ensures fit-for-purpose data underpins the organisation’s business critical applications, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Talent Management (TM) and Human Capital Management (HCM), maximising system ROI, talent retention and employee performance.

A large enterprise recognises that the success of its HR initiatives rely heavily on the accuracy of its employee data, including name, National Insurance/Social Security number, benefits and tax coding, compensation and job title details. Data can be highly fragmented, held in multiple systems across an organisation, in differing formats, can be structured or unstructured, owned and maintained by individual business units or the IT department. As a consequence, often there is a lack of overall employee data visibility or a ‘single view’, which can lead to a myriad of costly and time-consuming complications for the enterprise, potentially resulting in misallocation of resources or financial irregularities such as staff overpayments.

dn:Director for HR provides a complete data management solution tailored to the needs of the HR team, with pre-configured tools allowing them to quickly take control of their employee data and create a consistent and accurate SVE. Built on the core capabilities of Datanomic’s award-winning dn:Director software – which saw Datanomic prestigiously ranked as ‘Visionaries’ in the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools – the solution de-risks HR migration and HCM initiatives by ensuring they are utilising fit-for-purpose data.  dn:Director for HR’s extensive, configurable and auditable data management capabilities also ensure the HR team is compliant with enterprise-wide data governance programmes, industry regulations or compliance legislation. The solution can work simultaneously with data from multiple sources across the enterprise, standardising it into a uniform format before automatically identifying and resolving duplicated entries or errors, such as missing National Insurance/Social Security numbers or a mis-match of bank account and sort-code details.

dn:Director was recently deployed by Royal Mail Group, one of the UK’s largest employers, who worked closely with Datanomic to profile and standardise the quality of its employee data – approximately 200,000 individuals – almost 1% of the entire UK working population.

“If HR Directors believe that the implementation of an HCM solution alone would address the issues associated with effectively managing employee data, they are missing a trick,” said Jeremy Lovett, Vice President, Data Management Applications Division for Datanomic. “One of the most fundamental challenges of any enterprise system initiative is the preparation of data, to ensure that it’s accurate and fit-for-purpose. Without such effort, many of the results generated by the system could be unreliable, potentially jeopardising the entire initiative.  Our new solution provides a one-stop-shop for profiling, analysing and transforming data in a collaborative way to ensure HR data records are complete, helping HR departments to fully maximise their internal talent, whilst the web-based reporting of dn:Dashboard allows real-time response to report requests from the lines of business.”

To celebrate the launch of dn:Director for HR, Datanomic is offering the chance for HR Directors to request a free 90-minute QuickStats Workshop to gain an initial insight into the state of their employee data, and how to improve its fitness-for-purpose.  To request a QuickStats Workshop, HR Directors should complete the request form on the Datanomic website at: www.datanomic.com/quickstats. The company is also offering webinar introductions to the solution, registration for which can be made via the company’s website.

Cambridge, UK – 14 July 2010 – Risk & Compliance Screening and Data Management specialist, Datanomic, today announced that it has signed a technology integration partnership with Safe Banking Systems LLC (SBS), to further extend the risk scoring and Know Your Customer (KYC) capabilities in its award-winning dn:Director for Sanctions & PEP Screening solution.  

Datanomic’s customers will now have the ability to include SBS’ SAFE Exposure Index®, a powerful risk and exposure ranking of PEPs and high-risk entities using a patent pending methodology. SAFE Exposure Index is an optional add-on solution for Datanomic customers that prioritises the relative sensitivity of risk matches using contextual data such as the nature, category, global reach and country of origin of the risk under investigation.

Also available to Datanomic customers is SAFE View, SBS’ comprehensive research tool, which provides detailed profiles with an immediate snapshot of all links, related entities and information, and SAFE Audit Reports, an archive of all changes and bulletins to global sanctions lists, such as OFAC, EU, DFAT and U.S. State Dept, providing clients with a complete “point in time” record of sanction lists going back to the year 2000.  SAFE View and SAFE Audit Reports are valuable tools that facilitate efficient alert investigation and research functions.

“Safe Banking Systems leads the industry in terms of analysing PEP lists and risk data sources to identify links between suspicious individuals,” said Simon Pearson, Vice President of Risk & Compliance Screening at Datanomic. “SBS’ technology complements Datanomic’s Sanctions and PEP Screening software by adding an extra dimension of risk scoring through entity resolution, which identifies and links prominent and notorious entities and risk ranks them based on their relative political and criminal exposure. SBS’ Exposure Index uses mathematically based logic and a broad range of factors such as risk category, country, relative exposure, relationships and context to provide a better understanding of the relative severity of a hit. SBS’ methodology complements Datanomic’s own sophisticated risk scoring capabilities for those organisations who wish to go even further in prioritising relative risk scoring.”

Whilst Government watch lists and commercial data providers offer broad coverage of PEPs and other high-risk customers, the lack of prioritisation according to severity score within those lists causes regulated organisations problems when determining which cases to investigate first. For example, investigating a case for a terrorist in Pakistan is of much higher priority than investigating a lower risk hit such as a PEP in Luxembourg.

“SBS has a long and successful history in this industry,” added Pearson. “Now the benefits of SBS’ innovative solutions are available to Datanomic customers.”

David Schiffer, Founder and President of Safe Banking Systems added, “We are excited to be working with Datanomic. Their dn:Director Sanctions and PEP Screening software combined with our SAFE Exposure Index, SAFE View and SAFE Audit Reports, offer customers a powerful solution to rigorously and systematically identify heightened-risk entities within vast customer databases.   Our integrated approach to managing risk provides organisations with the sophisticated tools and solutions needed to meet the challenges of global compliance screening, KYC and EDD.”

Cambridge, UK  5 July 2010 – Enterprise Screening and Data Management specialists, Datanomic, today announced that is has been positioned by Gartner, Inc., in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools.”[i] Datanomic believes its visionary status is underpinned by the significant traction it has made over the last 12 months, including its fourth consecutive year of triple digit growth, the opening of a new UK headquarters in Cambridge, as well as new offices in North America and Singapore in response to growing global customer demand.

In the report, which assesses the leading international providers of data quality solutions based on completeness of vision and ability to execute, Gartner defines “Visionaries” as organisations that “demonstrate a strong understanding of current and future market trends and directions, such as the importance of ongoing monitoring of data quality, engagement of business subject matter experts and delivery of data quality services. They exhibit capabilities aligned with these trends, but may lack the market presence, brand recognition, customer base and resources of larger vendors.”

“We are delighted to be included in the report and positioned as a visionary,” said Dr Jonathan Pell, CEO, Datanomic. “It’s gratifying that a leading independent and influential analyst firm recognises us. Over the past year we have delivered new versions of our award-winning dn:Director software and new solutions that address specific and challenging business issues.  We continue to experience record growth levels, while many of our competitors have seen their revenues drop, and our rapidly growing global customer base is the best testament to our vision, innovation and commercial success.”

According to the report’s authors, prospects for the data quality tools market continue to be buoyant, despite the challenging global economic situation.

According to the report, “the market for data quality tools was worth approximately $727 million in software-related revenue as of the end of 2009, and is forecast to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12% during the next five years.”

Version 8 of Datanomic’s award winning dn:Director software was launched in April 2010, delivering collaborative data management for global enterprises. Datanomic also continued to extend and update its range of business solutions built upon the dn:Director core technology with the recent release of Version 5 of its Risk & Compliance Screening application and a new Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Marketing solution.
