Infoglide Software Corporation to Present New Fraud and Compliance Innovations at 23rd Annual ACFE Conference

Austin, TX (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

Infoglide Software Corporation today announced that it has accepted an invitation from Boeing Kestrel to present its powerful fraud and risk analysis software offering at the 23rd Annual Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Conference and Exhibition in Orlando, FL., beginning June 17 at Gaylord Palms Resort.

Kestrel, the Intelligence Systems Group of Boeing Corporation (NYSE:BA), provides a robust set of analytics, training assessment and strategic planning services across a wide spectrum of government and financial services topics. Coupled with Infoglides industry leading search/match/link analysis software, Identity Resolution Engine (IRE), the analytics suite is poised to set new standards in the prevention and examination of fraud across industry sectors.

Kestrels technology and tools are as innovative as our own, said Infoglides Director of Industry Strategy Robin Farshadfar, and we welcome the opportunity to very rapidly expand our market through this relationship.

Attending the event alongside major industry partners Kestrel, IBM, Oracle, Verafin and LexisNexis, the ACFE Conference provides Infoglide a platform to discuss powerful anti-fraud and compliance offerings including Inter-Bank Intelligent Risk Data Search (I-BIRDS) designed to fight new account opening fraud, synthetic identity theft, and credit bust-out fraud.

I-BIRDS allows communities of commercial organizations to securely share behind-the-firewall risk data, said Infoglide senior VP Douglas Wood. Unlike other industry data-sharing initiatives, I-BIRDS doesnt require institutions to move their private data outside their enterprise. Instead, the bad guy data of each member is securely queried by other members to effectively determine risk.

The key to I-BIRDS, according to ACFE member Wood, is the patented I-SCore. While no personal data is ever revealed, the score indicates the probability that one or more member of the I-BIRDS community has been previously defrauded by a particular entity, or by individuals with close hidden links. I-BIRDS is being released through input from major financial institutions and technology providers.

About Infoglide Software Corporation

Austin, TX based Infoglide (http://www.infoglide.com) supplies identity resolution and entity analytics solutions to government and financial services markets. Infoglides flagship product, Identity Resolution Engine (IRE), searches disparate and third party databases to discover possible matches and non-obvious relationships between people, places, and things.
