CIOREVIEW >> April 15, 2025

Precision is the cornerstone of groundbreaking success in risk management. In an era of escalating regulatory demands, the ability to unify and streamline compliance processes can be the difference between maintaining relevance and setting industry standards. Unilogic is a pioneer in integrated and consistent risk management solutions, offering businesses a clear path to confidently navigate complexity. Disparate systems and fragmented data have long been complex obstacles in the regulatory landscape. Unilogic’s proprietary Risklogic platform integrates risk management modules into a single, seamless framework, ensuring consistency across all operations. This approach eliminates inefficiencies and enhances decision-making, empowering businesses to address present demands while anticipating future opportunities. “Risklogic serves as the single source of truth across all modules, eliminating discrepancies, fostering trust in analysis and empowering users to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive and regulated environment,” says Leticia Ortega, CEO. The belief that technology is a game-changer is at the core of Unilogic’s operations. The same belief is reflected across its comprehensive offerings that extend beyond compliance. Its Regulatory Reporting Automation simplifies intricate compliance processes, helping organizations meet stringent regulatory requirements while optimizing valuable resources like time and capital. For businesses needing customized insights, its Risk Assessment Tools provide tailored intelligence to align with distinct operational needs. The platform’s Historical Reprocessing Capabilities allow seamless access to and updates of legacy data, ensuring alignment with current regulations. Advanced Risk Models provide data-driven insights with remarkable precision, offering clarity and actionable strategies in even the most complex scenarios. Its industry expertise is amplified through its Strategic Advisory Services, where technology meets human insight. These services help clients keep their risk management strategies compliant and aligned with broader business objectives. Cases where Unilogic’s solutions drive results for clients are plenty. In one instance, a mid-sized bank achieved a significant milestone by reducing its capital requirement by 1.8 billion pesos. This was made possible by implementing the company’s advanced fund stability model, which provided a comprehensive analysis and validation of the stability of its account holders' deposits. By demonstrating reliable and predictable deposit behavior, the bank could justify a 2-basis-point reduction in its capital requirement. This enhanced the bank’s regulatory capital efficiency and unlocked valuable resources for strategic growth initiatives, strengthening its financial position and instilling greater confidence among stakeholders. In another instance, Unilogic rescued a mid-sized bank struggling with recurring fines and operational inefficiencies due to non-compliance in regulatory reporting for foreign exchange risk. These challenges posed a threat not only to its financial stability but also to its reputation with regulatory authorities. By adopting Unilogic´s tailored compliance solution, the bank achieved a transformative improvement in its processes. The solution's advanced automation and precise data integration capabilities enabled the organization to eliminate fines entirely. Furthermore, the regulator formally acknowledged the bank for setting a new benchmark in accuracy, efficiency and compliance excellence.

Unilogic: A Novel Approach to Risk Management

The year is 2017. The ongoing cloud boom is pushing companies toward adoption with the promise of scalability and efficiency. Among them was Televisa News, a leader in Mexican broadcasting, eager to build a robust infrastructure to meet rising demands. But, as the broadcaster soon found out, cloud integrators with the expertise to handle the media space’s distinct needs were a rare sight in Latin America. Televisa’s answer came in the form of Digital Geeks, a team of technologists and cloud experts dedicated to helping businesses navigate their journey to the cloud. Under the guidance of Victor Vazquez and Raymundo Segovia, seasoned developers with extensive experience in the media industry and founding partners of Digital Geeks, Televisa successfully bridged the gap between traditional broadcasting and the cloud. The collaboration paved the way for a more flexible, scalable and resilient infrastructure to support the next generation of media consumption. “The Televisa story was pivotal for us because, after its success, AWS reached out to us with a partnership proposition,” says Vazquez. “The partnership with AWS allowed us to leverage their vast cloud resources and expertise, strengthening our capabilities and positioning us as a key player in the media space.” Building on this initial success in the media space, Digital Geeks expanded its reach, diversifying into broader cloud migration services and enhancing cloud architectures for clients already using AWS. The company introduced scalable, affordable consulting packages for SMBs. It also shifted from traditional project-based work to delivering minimum viable products (MVP) that prioritize core functionalities, ensuring faster time-to-market for clients. Using agile methodologies and design thinking, team Digital Geeks creates prototypes that help clients refine solutions quickly. For smaller clients, the company offers 30-minute free consultations, often through AWS partnerships, followed by low-risk hourly engagements to build trust and deliver results. Many clients start with small projects but expand over time as they see value in Digital Geeks’ services, fostering long-term relationships and mutual growth. All of Digital Geeks’ services are based on three focal points: upgrading technology by analyzing and improving client infrastructure, strengthening cloud security using AWS expertise and best practices, and driving cost efficiency in all implementations. “Our whole engagement process is symbolized by the tree in our logo,” says Segovia. “The roots represent the information our clients provide, the trunk signifies our understanding and creation process and the branches reflect the industries, products and services we deliver.” Another notable success story highlights the company’s capability to understand the problem at hand and deliver tailored solutions. When a client in the ticketing industry struggled to manually manage server scaling during high-demand periods, Digital Geeks introduced infrastructure as code (IaC) solutions. This approach automated the deployment and teardown of servers, drastically reducing operational inefficiencies and costs. The project exemplified the company’s capacity to deliver precise, impactful solutions that exceed client needs.
