We believe this is a great appreciation of our strategy to serve all stakeholders across the regulatory value chain, and it underlines our innovative strength that is reflected by our Abacus360 Regulator solution. At the same time, it is a honor for our data management advisory services. The repeated recognition also demonstrates the continuous international growth of BearingPoint’s Solutions business. Our RegTech unit, with its Abacus solutions, has contributed greatly to that success in 2017.”
