We are happy to attend the Practitioners Conference 2018 today. Organised by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), this event is well attended by more than 500 Practitioners. It is also heartening to catch up with a number of our existing client at the event itself.
One of the topics that was discussed during this event, was “Enhancing Your AML/CTF Process through Technology”. The speaker briefly mentioned 4 key considerations for choosing a Technology Vendor — (1) People (2) Cost (3) Security and (4) Support. In other words, it is to consider the user friendliness for the people using it, cost effectiveness of system, software security and support for the software.
On this regard, we would like to elaborate and add on a few tips on choosing the right Technology vendor.
People
The product interface needs to be designed for the end-users, in terms of intuitive UIUX and most importantly serve the needs of end-users. While the initial learning curve may be steep but this phase will pass over time as end-users gets familiar with the software. If the software can serve the needs of end-users and tackle their pain point, the time and effort to integrate with this Technology Vendor will be worthwhile.
Cost
Indeed, cost is an important factor to consider as it concerns the company’s budgeting. However, a wise shopper is also one who looks at the long-term value. Going for the cheapest vendor is tempting but you should also consider the value they bring to you. Always remember, it does not pay to be penny wise and pound foolish.
Security
As a Technology vendor, security is of utmost priority that they must deliver to their client. While selecting your vendor, find out how they take steps to ensure your client database are secure.
Support
Client servicing team is important for a Technology Vendor to be successful. When choosing a vendor, the turnaround time should be quick and fast especially when you run into issues of using the software.
