Know Your Business Partner Platform (KYBP)
by PWC Germany
Description
Many organizations interact with an increasing number of business partners presenting them with several key risks:
- Financial Stability and Reputation - If a business partner violates a law this can lead to significant financial and reputational damage for the organization
- Flexibility and Sustainability - The regulatory environment and the expectations of external stakeholders regarding transparency and integrity are constantly changing
- Integration and Automation - Missing integration into the existing IT landscape and a low level of automation can cause considerable administrative effort and related costs
- Complexity and Transparency - The increasing amount of third party interactions leads to a complex business partner network with a lack of transparency

The solution is modular, flexible and extendable across different risk areas allowing it to be easily tailored to specific clients needs. The fully automated and integrated end-to-end solution enables organizations to significantly reduce administrative overhead and costs.
