SAS Anti-fraud Software Fortifies Greek Insurer's Arsenal(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CARY, N.C., July 15 -- SAS Institute, a business analytics software and services provider, issued the following news release: Fraud flourishes during periods of economic uncertainty. Greek insurers can attest to the increased fraud risk and the heightened demands to prepare for and protect against suspect activity. Analytics helps address the growing threat. Thriving insurer Atlantic Union adopted SAS Fraud Framework for Insurance (http://www.sas.com/en_us/industry/insurance/fraud-framework.html) to effectively detect, manage and prevent fraud across the entire company. With the improved data quality that comes with cutting-edge SAS technology, the insurer will capture a clearer customer picture and better track customer behavior to immediately detect organized fraud. The economic crisis had a dramatic impact on the Greek insurance market. With financial fraud on the rise in the insurance sector, Atlantic Union needed a modernized anti-fraud platform that could safeguard the company's profit and reputation while overcoming the inability of traditional systems to quickly and accurately identify suspicious activity. Unchecked fraud causes significant losses to insurers, damaging their financial position. "With the upsurge in financial fraud, we had to upgrade our methods to fight it," said Ioannis Lapatas, Managing Director and General Manager of Atlantic Union General Insurances S.A.. "After intensive research, we concluded that an advanced system, such as the SAS Fraud Framework for Insurance, was the answer. We are particularly happy with our collaboration with SAS, which we value for its expertise as well as its respect for customers and employees. We are certain our investment will bring significant company benefits."
