"Products are Ranked First and Foremost on their Ability to Support
a Comprehensive Array of Fraud Management Functions" NEW YORK,
October 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Actimize, a NICE Systems
(NASDAQ:NICE) company and the largest and broadest financial crime,
compliance and risk management solutions provider to the financial
services industry today announced that it received a rating of
"Strong Positive", the highest rating available, in Gartner's
report entitled "MarketScope for Enterprise Fraud Management"(i),
issued September 3, 2009. Gartner defined the Strong Positive
rating for enterprise fraud management (EFM) as, "The vendor shows
a strong balance of forward-thinking technological development and
competitive dominance in the market. High name recognition combines
with business-relevant solutions to sell the technology more
effectively than other market players. Strong Positive vendors are
defining and refining the market by their actions, and are forcing
other vendors to conform. In this market, a Strong Positive vendor
is seen as enabling EFM at the customer or other user-defined
entity level across products, channels and accounts, while also
providing a wide range of point solutions that are channel and
product specific. Strong Positive vendors provide a path to deal
with existing and new threats, and fraud attacks against the
enterprise, and take the lead in integrating point fraud detection
solutions already in the enterprise. It is difficult to achieve
this ranking because of the relative immaturity of this market and
the fact that the vendor products haven't yet had time to mature to
support very complex and diffuse environments." "Actimize is
committed to continue leading the fraud management and financial
crime market with focused and comprehensive anti fraud solutions
built on an enterprise platform that enables key capabilities such
as real-time prevention, effective investigations and cross-channel
profiling," said Amir Orad EVP and CMO at Actimize. "We are proud
to provide solutions to all of the top-10 global banks and the
majority of the largest banks worldwide. In my opinion, Gartner's
ranking of Actimize as 'strong positive' and our recent acquisition
of Fortent (previously known as Searchspace) reaffirms our #1
position in our industry." "Enterprise fraud management saves users
money by enabling operational efficiencies and by stopping losses
from cross-channel, cross-account and/or cross-product fraud
schemes" said Avivah Litan, vice president and distinguished
analyst at Gartner, in the MarketScope report. "With the economic
downturn, the desire to save resources and cut costs has been
strong. Users should select vendors with products that support
their tactical fraud prevention objectives." The report says that
"until now, most enterprises using fraud detection have been using
point or siloed solutions" and that "this has resulted in
fragmented fraud prevention systems and redundant fraud-related
operations." The report estimates that the EFM market will grow
approximately 10%-15% in 2009 and 15%-20% in 2010, "mainly because
large global financial institutions are investing heavily in EFM
technology against a backdrop of increasingly frequent and
sophisticated fraud attacks, and also due to a desire to
consolidate fraud prevention and financial crime efforts across the
enterprise." It anticipates even faster growth in 2010 "as
financial institutions in different (emerging market) countries
begin investing in EFM." The full Gartner report is available,
