Fast Company Ranks NICE Among World's Most Innovative Companies - Again!RA'ANANA, Israel, February 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE) today announced that it was named as one of the "Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Money" in 2015 by Fast Company magazine. This marks the second year in a row in which the company made the publication's "Most Innovative Companies" issue. According to Fast Company, the magazine's editors spend months gathering and analyzing data on companies around the globe. The resulting package emphasizes the breadth of companies with progressive, nimble business models, an ethos of sustainability, and a culture of creativity. "Our goal is to illuminate the state of innovation as it exists right now within the rapidly changing global landscape," said Fast Company editor Robert Safian. "In this economic environment, we all need to continually challenge our assumptions." NICE was recognized for its cutting-edge voice biometric technology, which confirms the identity of legitimate customers calling a contact center and concurrently identifies sophisticated fraud attempts via this channel. NICE's Real-Time Authentication solution is able to verify a customer's identity within the first 10-15 seconds of a call by matching their voice print to their account. This eliminates the hassle of answering a number of traditional questions like, "what's the name of your first pet," and allows the conversation to move directly to the true purpose of the call. It also drives down the average time for a service call by up to 45 seconds. The system is also built to prevent fraud by identifying fraudsters within the first seconds of a call by matching the caller's voice print to an existing fraudster black list. In this case, the call is classified as high risk and can be immediately transferred to a fraud specialist to prevent an unlawful transaction from taking place. Barak Eilam, CEO of NICE, said, "Innovation is the foundation for the value we bring to ou customers. We are continuously innovating in order to help organizations serve people in three critical domains: protecting their money, ensuring their safety, and improving their experience. We greatly appreciate this recognition, as further proof that the solutions we're bringing to the market leverage the latest technology in order to have a real impact for our customers."
