The grid computing solution provides organizations, such as those in financial services or healthcare, with on-demand access to computing capacity, providing a cost-effective way to conduct complex analyses of large data sets without the need for on-premises data centers or infrastructure. The scalable solution, running on AWS, is deployed with KPMG’s Risk Controls and Compliance framework which provides capabilities in risk assessment, architectural design, scientific research and pre- and post-production tasks.

Client due diligence is a ‘know-your-customer’ solution and serves clients operating in complex regulatory environments, such as financial services or healthcare.  The solution helps businesses reduce risk, manage compliance and provide greater transparency in their policies around financial crime or anti-money laundering, for example, with traceable audit trails that can verify compliance with due diligence procedures and standards.

By working with AWS, KPMG is well-placed among the leading professional services firms, having alliances with all of the main global cloud providers. KPMG’s alliance community of global cloud providers gives the ability to KPMG teams to serve as an independent advisor to businesses, offering an extensive portfolio of solutions and infrastructures to support single- or multi-cloud transformation strategies.
