T-Systems and Neural Technologies Provide T-Mobile USA with Enhanced Fraud Management Solution
ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., Feb. 5 /-- T-Mobile USA, Inc. has contracted T-Systems North America, Inc. and Neural Technologies to provide a new fraud management solution tool to protect customer data.
Neural Technologies, a provider of risk management solutions, has cooperated with T-Systems to implement their Minotaur(TM) risk management tool. T-Mobile will use the fraud management solution to automate many manual processes with state-of-the-art detection methods to react even quicker to potential fraud events. T-Mobile will be able to better identify and stop fraud either before it happens, or as soon after an anomaly or change is detected. This will result in a cost savings and increased protection for T- Mobile customers.
"We chose Minotaur(TM) because it is a single technology platform for multiple risk management applications and is configurable to meet our needs," said Robert Strickland, senior vice president and chief information officer for T-Mobile, USA. "Minotaur(TM) has the flexibility to add new data feeds, rules, neural models and profiles as our business needs change."
"With our experience as a systems integrator for enterprise networks, we were able to efficiently and effectively integrate Nt's Minotaur(TM) application at T-Mobile," said Scott Hines, vice president, Sales, Industry Line Telecommunications, T-Systems North America. "Minotaur(TM) is a highly- effective fraud management solution that is scalable to all levels of systems."
"Our Minotaur(TM) platform offers T-Mobile an enterprise solution that will meet its risk management needs going forward," said Ian Gebbett, vice president of Worldwide Sales at Neural Technologies. "Minotaur(TM) is an extremely flexible tool with risk management capability that extends far beyond fraud management into areas such as credit risk, churn and collections optimization."
T-Systems will serve as Prime Contractor and Integrator for hardware and software integration and services for the rollout of the fraud management system. Additionally, T-Systems and Neural Technologies will work together to address the evolving risk management needs of T-Mobile.
