FIS Launches Enterprise Risk Suite on AWS to Provide Continuous Cloud-Native Delivery

Key Terms

cloud-native technical

Cloud-native describes a way of creating and running applications that are designed specifically to operate smoothly on cloud computing platforms. Think of it as building a house with flexible, lightweight materials that can be easily moved, scaled, or adjusted as needed, rather than using rigid, traditional construction. For investors, it signifies technology that is more adaptable, efficient, and capable of quickly responding to changing market demands.

ci/cd technical

CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (or Deployment), a set of practices and tools that automate the building, testing and releasing of software so code changes reach users quickly and reliably. Think of it as an assembly line that checks each new part before it leaves the factory. For investors, CI/CD lowers the risk of costly bugs, speeds product improvements, reduces development costs, and makes a company’s road map and revenue more predictable.

microservice-based technical

An architecture where a software system is built from many small, independent components that each perform a specific job, rather than one large, all-in-one program. For investors this matters because it can make a company’s products easier to update, scale, and fix—like replacing or upgrading individual tools in a toolbox—potentially speeding time to market, reducing downtime and development risk, and affecting operating costs and competitive agility.

burst computing technical

Burst computing is a way of using extra processing power for short periods when demand suddenly spikes, like turning on extra ovens during a big dinner rush. For investors, it matters because companies that can scale compute up and down quickly can handle peak workloads without heavy long‑term hardware costs, which affects operating expenses, service reliability and the ability to grow revenue.

aws technical

AWS is a major cloud computing platform that rents on-demand computing power, data storage and software tools to businesses and governments so they can run applications and store data without owning and maintaining lots of hardware. It matters to investors because cloud services tend to generate steady, recurring revenue and influence a company’s growth and profit margins—think of it like businesses renting utility-style IT capacity instead of buying the power plant.

Key facts

• Launch of FIS Enterprise Risk Suite on AWS delivers a cloud-native risk management platform that gives financial institutions non-stop access to the latest risk functionality without disruptive upgrade cycles.
• Deployment eliminates the trade-off between staying current and staying operational.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Global financial technology leader FIS^® today announced the launch of FIS Enterprise Risk Suite on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Upgrading risk software has always meant disruption and for firms managing risk in real-time, that’s a trade-off they can’t afford. This deployment on AWS reduces this by delivering a cloud-native risk management platform that keeps financial institutions on the latest version of the software, continuously and without operational disruption.

In today's volatile, highly regulated markets, financial institutions face mounting pressure to track a growing range of risks, but upgrading to a new software version has historically forced firms to choose between staying current and staying operational. Enterprise Risk Suite on AWS resolves that tension, and represents a fundamental shift in how clients deploy, scale and consume enterprise risk technology, by replacing the lengthy, disruptive upgrade cycles of legacy infrastructure with continuous, seamless delivery of the latest capabilities.

With Enterprise Risk Suite now available on AWS, FIS manages upgrades on behalf of its clients through a CI/CD model, meaning institutions always run the most current version of the software without needing to divert focus from risk management to infrastructure.

The platform's microservice-based, cloud-native architecture enables clients to linearly scale their risk architecture in the cloud and run higher volumes of calculations with lossless performance, and through burst computing, clients can instantly acquire additional processing power for large calculations or peak workloads, without maintaining costly on-premise hardware.

The launch builds on FIS' recognition as a Category Leader across all quadrants in the Chartis Credit Risk Management Systems report, validating the platform's strength across both market and credit risk.

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. This modern framework combined with comprehensive risk coverage enables smarter, faster and more capital-efficient risk management decisions that drive revenue growth.”

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. We're proud to support FIS in transforming how the insurance industry manages risk."
