Build Value with Data Driven Fraud Operations
- Palantir discuss how learnings for effectively operationalising data are often sector and use case agnostic, how data frameworks that powered the NHS vaccine rollout or that enable institutional banks to fight anti money laundering, can and are used to improve data driven fraud solutions across banking, payment, and regulatory body clients.
- The Fraud Management Environment is often characterised by siloed data, analysts, and processes, posing major challenges to proactively managing fraud and improving processes over time.
- Palantir have seen how both analytics and manual processes decay in their effectiveness in an environment where feedback is not encoded into operations and where machine learning is left to its own devices.
- Value is not only recovered but created when these siloes are broken down through the proper use of data and technology, allowing human analysts and automated models to co-exist and for agile iteration and testing of new technologies/processes.
