The acquisition of Skematic represents an important milestone in FRT's journey. Within a short period and with rapid adoption, Skematic introduced a fresh compliance solution to the people who needed it most - compliance professionals. Skematic's purpose-built technology was designed not only to empower compliance teams, but for the first time, to let compliance shine. Finally, asset management firms can sunset disparate tools - spreadsheets, emails, shared drives and work "tickets" - with the introduction of a unified platform built around workflow management, accountability and reporting.
"Our clients are feeling the pain of disparate compliance systems, and we believe we can play an important role in helping them address these challenges," said Rob Adler, CEO of FRT. "Skematic's technology and experienced team perfectly align with our vision of delivering innovative solutions and services to our clients."
"FRT's core global securities class action service processes claims and much more," Adler continued. "We maximize value for investors by optimizing operational processes and minimizing the risk of errors that might cost firms money. Our technology significantly reduces manual workload, human error, and processing times, increasing return on investment and generating revenue for legal departments, all wrapped up in a layer of service and support that results in FRT's Net Promoter Score of 80 or higher year after year. For years our clients have asked FRT to extend our capabilities to additional areas, and with Skematic we've finally found the right fit."
Skematic is a GRC principles-based workflow management solution built to integrate processes and operate as a central platform for compliance accountability and reporting.
"We see tremendous opportunity to further enhance Skematic's explosive growth as part of FRT," said Charles Steerman and Brian Kesselman, co-founders of Skematic. "Our long-range vision is a shared focus on client-driven software offerings designed to empower compliance professionals and programs. At its core, Skematic is the platform of the practitioners, designed to improve operational efficiency while reducing risk. FRT commands an incredible share of the market and has a dynamic and innovative set of technology capabilities that will further turbocharge the adoption of the Skematic solution in the market."
