Mexico's maxcom Sees Major Results From Sotas' Fraud Solution
<%=company%>, a global provider of network management solutions, announced today that Maxcom, one of Mexico's premier telecommunications companies offering local, long-distance, and Internet services, is seeing significant results with the SecureWave fraud management solution over the last year. SOTAS customized a solution, based on its proven application platform and using information from Maxcom's existing network resources, to seek out and manage fraud. Maxcom's Fraud Prevention Center was able to positively identify several cases of fraud and investigate over one thousand more potential cases while realizing a rapid return on their investment.
Telecommunications fraud is widespread with worldwide estimates ranging $15 to $30 billion for service providers. Fraud prevention has moved to the forefront of management's agenda, with the implementation of the SOTAS fraud solution in the networks of major carriers in the United States and abroad. The SOTAS flexible SecureWave solution helps identify, track, and prevent fraud. Advance features include rules-based alerts, case tracking, and customizable reporting.
Bill Brown, SOTAS' fraud product manager, commented, "SecureWave is the most flexible, state of the art system in the market. With SecureWave, a fraud center can not only stop fraud in near real time but also perform root cause analysis to determine vulnerabilities in processes and services. The ability to partition data coupled with a multidimensional alert designer and profiler makes SecureWave a perfect fit for either the wholesale or retail markets."
