Moving Strise from Data Platform to Compliance
Strise began as an enterprise data platform that read news and company records for its customers, and it later turned to anti-money-laundering compliance for banks, payment firms and accountants. "It is not about replacing people but creating a new way of working where users and new data insights go hand in hand to solve critical problems," she told Tech.eu in 2020.
