Chicago-based Ascent Technologies has rebranded as AscentAI, launching a new Regulatory Lifecycle Management (RLM) Platform designed to help financial firms navigate compliance with greater speed and accuracy.
The platform transforms regulatory data into actionable insights through AI-driven automation, aiming to streamline compliance processes, reduce costs, and improve risk management.
“Today’s risk and compliance organisations are facing a relentless tidal wave of information that they need to capture, assess, and operationalise accurately and efficiently,” said Christopher Junker, CEO of AscentAI. “Our RLM Platform was designed from the ground up by regulatory compliance experts to deliver holistic command and control capabilities.”
The platform includes:
- AscentHorizon, which scans global regulations and delivers tailored updates with built-in audit trails.
- AscentFocus, which extracts regulatory obligations, assesses their impact, and integrates with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platforms.
“We’ve spent years listening to customers describe their real-world challenges,” explained Ellen Krueger, VP of Customer Experience at AscentAI. “Virtually all of them have told us that manual processes, particularly those focused on change management, are a major bottleneck. With AscentAI’s obligations-based solution, every update is automatically assessed for applicability and presented to users with summaries and highlighted comparisons. We deliver fully processed information that’s ready for action, unlike other document-based vendors.”
“This isn’t AI for its own sake,” Junker added. “It’s a targeted application of AI capabilities to automate the most arduous and challenging elements of today’s compliance processes. Our customers report major time savings with greatly improved confidence in their enterprise compliance operations.”
AscentAI’s rebrand reflects its commitment to delivering advanced AI-powered solutions for legal, risk, and compliance teams.
By combining specialist expertise with cutting-edge AI technology, the company sets a new industry benchmark, enabling customers to manage their regulatory processes with confidence.
