Golden Mean Combats Insurance and Retail Fraud
Announcement posted by Golden Mean 02 Nov 2004
Golden Mean, a Sydney-based total data management consultancy, today announced that it has signed an agreement to market the Australian-owned NetMap Analytics data analysis and intelligence tools.
The NetMap tools complement Golden Means specialisation in data intelligence, data integrity and data integration and can be applied to help insurance, retail and marketing organisations combat fraud in Australia.
NetMap was originally designed to help law enforcement and intelligence agencies identify complex criminal activities and compile profiles of sophisticated criminal networks but has since been applied widely across a variety of markets and applications in Australia and internationally.
NetMap detects fraud, pinpoints errors, tracks inefficiencies and sources opportunities by revealing connections, links and patterns in data. The solution breaks down data to its simplest form and visually maps that data a process called NetMapping to find common links and display previously hidden and suspicious connections.
Greg Stevens, Managing Director for Golden Mean, said, Insurance and retail fraud is a major drain on the Australian economy and a significant issue for these industries. Were pleased to announce the agreement with NetMap and look forward to harnessing this powerful technology to combat fraud by exposing suspicious connections between people, places, assets and many other sources. The NetMap solution is a great addition to our Total Data Management offering.
Dr John Galloway, Director and Chief Scientist, NetMap Analytics said, Our partnership with Golden Mean will enable us to broaden our penetration of the Australian market by providing Golden Mean with an advanced discovery oriented technology that complements their wider data management offerings. NetMap has a successful track record in Australia having helped the NSW Police to resolve the backpacker murder case and David Jones to realise cost savings.
