The solution comes with predefined fraud scenarios and advanced analytics to identify fraudulent behavior.

SAS^® Social Network Analysis uses SAS to help institutions detect and prevent fraud. By combining network detection and visualization algorithms with the ability to mine massive amounts of data, this product helps to reveal previously undetected relationships. Investigators use this web-based interface to examine suspicious activity and network relationships.

SAS for Procurement Integrity is released continuously.
