FIS moves Enterprise Risk Suite to AWS to power real-time risk management

By Aarav Garg

FIS has launched its Enterprise Risk Suite on Amazon Web Services, expanding its cloud-native risk infrastructure offering for financial institutions managing increasingly complex regulatory and market risks.

The new deployment has been designed to remove the operational disruption traditionally associated with upgrading enterprise risk software. Instead of relying on periodic upgrade cycles that can interrupt critical systems, the platform uses continuous delivery infrastructure to keep institutions automatically updated with the latest risk management capabilities.

Andrés Choussy, President of the Capital Markets at FIS said, “The move to a cloud-native architecture on AWS showcases our commitment to unlock financial technology across the money lifecycle, and removes the trade-off between staying current and staying operational. Our clients can now run the latest, most powerful version of Enterprise Risk Suite at all times, while scaling their risk infrastructure dynamically to meet whatever the market demands.”

For banks and capital markets firms, the shift reflects broader industry demand for cloud-based risk infrastructure capable of supporting real-time analytics, faster calculations and scalable computing capacity. Financial institutions have faced growing pressure to monitor market, credit and liquidity risks more dynamically, particularly as trading volumes, regulatory requirements and data complexity continue increasing.

John Kain, Head of Financial Services Market Development, Amazon Web Services said, “Financial institutions need risk management infrastructure that keeps pace with market volatility without sacrificing operational continuity. By deploying Enterprise Risk Suite on AWS, FIS is delivering exactly that — a cloud-native platform that gives clients continuous access to the latest capabilities, elastic compute power for peak workloads, and the scalability to grow without the burden of legacy upgrade cycles. “

FIS said the platform’s microservices-based architecture enables institutions to scale processing power more efficiently in the cloud while supporting higher calculation volumes without performance degradation. The use of burst computing infrastructure also allows firms to access additional processing capacity during peak workloads without maintaining large on-premise hardware environments.
