IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Anti–Money Laundering Solutions in Financial Services 2018 Vendor Assessment

This IDC Financial Insights study presents a 2018 vendor assessment of worldwide anti–money laundering (AML) solution providers in financial services using the IDC MarketScape model. This research quantitatively and qualitatively assesses multiple characteristics that help explain a vendor's success and position in the marketplace relative to the vendor's peers.

This IDC MarketScape covers vendors that provide AML solutions in financial services to the worldwide banking market. This evaluation is based on a standardized set of parameters from which IDC can produce a comparative analysis of AML solution vendors in financial services.

The technology vendors provided an in-depth assessment of their current capabilities and strategies, and their reference clients were interviewed to assess the vendor's ability to meet the financial institution's (FI's) strategic needs and current requirements. For the purposes of this document, IDC defined AML solutions to include solutions that provide financial institutions the capability to monitor their customers' transaction to identify suspicious activity, generate alerts, and facilitate the investigation of those alerts.
