naehas-blog-featured-ir-top-4-benefits

Marketing communications professionals in financial services need to comply with a vast array of government and industry-specific regulations. Review of regulated content involves a manual, error-prone, time-consuming review process across a small army of marketing compliance, legal and risk management teams. The cost of compliance is reflected in companies’ bottom lines, both directly, and in time-to-market delays due to complex, lengthy manual review cycles. Organizations cannot afford anything that slows time to market or limits the number of marketing efforts to grow their business. The need for speed is real.

In banks, insurance, wealth management, and fintech organizations, savvy martech leaders are increasingly turning to innovative industry-specific solutions to drive better processes and profits. Confidence is critical, and trust is of utmost importance when selecting vendors who collaborate with marketing, legal, compliance, IT and digital services teams across the enterprise.

Not all technology is created equal, and with so many options from which to choose, selecting partners with deep industry knowledge of regulations and disclosures carries risks and rewards. Learning what options are available in such a fast-paced, competitive market is not always easy.
