SOLIHULL, July 20th, 2020 – Wavenet, a leading and respected, multi-award-winning business provider of telecoms and technology solutions, today announced it has joined a financial compliance partner program managed by Verint^® Systems Inc. (Nasdaq: VRNT), The Customer Engagement Company^™.

Recognised in the 2019 Buy-Side Technology Awards and other industry rankings, Verint’s solution delivers capabilities that can prevent non-compliant incidents from occurring and organise of large volumes of unstructured data.
