Risk management software solution provider, Neural Technologies, has announced that it has completed the installation of its Minotaur™ fully integrated Fraud Management Solution for Trilogy International Partners at the latter’s Ft Lauderdale data centre.

The solution provides fraud protection for two of Trilogy’s subsidiary mobile operators - Voila in Haiti and Viva in the Dominican Republic - and will safeguard further subsidiaries as they are added to the system. Further extension of the solution is already planned to include capabilities beyond fraud management.

Trilogy’s business model centres on investing in wireless telecommunication operations that present opportunities for significant growth. As such they required a solution that enabled them to be quick to market to maximize business benefits. As Carol Wilson, Trilogy’s Project Director of Operations, explains, “The hosted Minotaur™ solution enables us to rapidly bring new subsidiaries on line and protect our revenue from the outset. Furthermore, the solution gives us more in-house control over configuration than our previous system. This enables us to respond rapidly to changing market conditions, without reliance on a vendor or even our own IT department”.

Said Ian Gebbett, CEO of Neural Technologies in the US, “Minotaur™ offers Trilogy superior fraud detection over the previous system and greater control over revenue protection activities. From this single technology platform, Trilogy will have the capability to manage multiple risk management applications, e.g. fraud, revenue assurance, credit risk management, collections and churn, avoiding substantial duplication of effort and the realization of significant cost savings”.

Pete Simpson, Senior VP at Trilogy, added, “Neural Technologies brings significant operational experience to our organization’s fraud department and other risk management areas within the Trilogy group of companies.”
