Paradigm RKS™: Recordkeeping in the Cloud

Paradigm RKS™ is a modern, scalable, proprietary recordkeeping platform that utilizes the Amazon AWS infrastructure and the cloud.

We license this innovative technology as a Business Processing Outsource (BPO) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering to larger financial institutions who see this as an opportunity to expand their brand presence into the rapidly growing micro market.

Paradigm has end-user functionality, as well as API integration, enabling it to offer a full array of savings tools cost-effectively. Our leadership and development teams have drawn on extensive industry expertise in the design and build of Paradigm, specifically with respect to features that should be automated and those that still require the nuanced approach of an industry professional.
