NEW YORK - June 28, 2012 - NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) company and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, today announced that it has been ranked as the number one solutions provider in both the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Anti-Fraud software categories in Operational Risk & Regulation magazine's Compliance Software Rankings 2012.

“Regulatory approaches are changing, strengthening the argument for a unified and consistent company-wide approach to financial crime,” according to Alexander Campbell, editor, Operational Risk & Regulation. “NICE Actimize, which ranked first in two of our six categories and third overall, supports this approach.”

The NICE Actimize solutions provide a common framework for full-lifecycle detection, investigation, reporting and remediation of financial crime. With its customer-centric, enterprise-wide financial crime prevention capabilities, NICE Actimize enables financial institutions to address money laundering risks, new and emergent fraud threats, streamline processes, and better serve customers.

Both solutions share a common technology platform, which offers IT cost benefits, operational efficiencies and performance benefits when compared to integrating disparate systems.
