THE NETMAP DISCOVERY ADVANTAGE
- Map ALL your data for the big picture
- Detect fraud
- Pinpoint errors
- Track inefficiencies
- Source opportunities
- Increase performance
What you can't see can cost you
millions
Every organisation accumulates vast, unwieldy amounts of
data from multiple sources. Transform that data into knowledge
and the benefits are significant: cost savings, efficiency
improvements and revenue generation. Allow your data to languish
and fraudulent activities, fundamental errors and irregularities
can escape unnoticed. When it's your neck on the line,
it's simply not an acceptable risk.
The power to see invisible connections.
NetMap was originally created to help intelligence agencies
identify complex criminal activities and develop profiles
of sophisticated criminals and terrorists. Now, driven by
intense competition and a strong focus on corporate responsibility,
leading organisations and government agencies around the world
are using these same powerful techniques to their advantage.
The difference between NetMap and traditional business software
tools is its ability to answer the questions you didn't
know to ask. NetMap finds every direct and indirect relationship
between literally millions of pieces of data. The results
can be startling. Hidden patterns and relationships are revealed.
Strategic opportunities come to light. Serious problems can
be solved before they become terminal.
Below are just some of the ways in which both corporate and
government organisations are utilising the power of NetMap:
Fraud detection
The collapse of companies like HIH, One.Tel and Enron has
meant a global focus on corporate accountability. Personal
liability is a frightening reality for every director. So,
how can you enjoy improved peace of mind that your organisation
is "squeaky clean"? How can you personally guarantee
that all corporate procedures are being followed? Government
departments face similar pressures. The slightest whiff of
potential fraud or mismanagement is unacceptable. The answer
is NetMap.
Rely on the facts, not random checks!
Most fraud detection procedures rely on spot checks and random
samples. NetMap allows you to map each and every financial
transaction throughout the course of the year. Irregularities
are immediately pinpointed. Some will have valid explanations
or indicate procedural errors. Others may reveal potential
fraud. Either way, you're now armed with the knowledge
and can take action. Put simply, NetMap allows you to audit
your data using the world's most powerful tools.
Ignorance is no defence in today's corporate environment
Monitoring data
integrity
When you're relying on your data to make vital decisions,
or provide service to your customers, or report to various
stakeholders, accuracy isn't a luxury – it's a
necessity.
Data integrity is a significant problem for most large organisations
and government departments, especially where multiple, complex
databases are involved. Corrupt data can be the result of
simple human error, multiple systems, hardware problems and
duplicate records.
Traditional checking systems tend to be a compromise between
speed and accuracy. With NetMap there is no compromise. NetMapping
techniques often find several thousands of errors, in a fraction
of the normal time. For example, consultants spent two weeks
sifting through a South East Asian bank’s database using
traditional reporting and query methods. NetMap did the same
process in just one day and found an additional five hundred
errors. (See Success Story, Headache
Cure for Asian Bank )
Auditing of systems
and processes
NetMap can help audit large, complex systems and processes
for ‘gremlins’ and inefficiencies.
Intricate billing systems for services such as telecommunications,
utilities and internet usage are good examples, particularly
in dynamic industries such as telecommunications where new
prices, products and promotions are being introduced every
week, requiring regular changes. NetMap has proved itself
in this area again and again. For example, our mapping tools
were able identify a billing problem that would have affected
thousands of customers for one telecommunications company.

Averted)
If you’re relying on the efficiencies of your processes
and systems, rely on NetMap to give you the peace of mind
you need.
Mapping the reality
of how your organisation works
Another area where NetMap has proved invaluable is mapping
how organisations actually work together on a day to day basis.
For example, who talks to whom via phone or email, who shares
documents, how knowledge is passed around the organisation
etc. Often this sort of information doesn’t appear in
the official organisation charts and the reality can be quite
different from management perceptions.
Armed with this knowledge, management can make truly informed
decisions regarding staff allocation, restructuring, reengineering
and downsizing.
