Fraud is conducted by individuals and businesses and those individuals and businesses may be in collusion with each other. But assembling the puzzle-like pieces across multiple systems into a single picture isn’t easy. Many of these systems were designed to support specific programs, not the sharing of information across organizational boundaries. Without a trusted version of the truth to work with, decision-making about serious matters becomes, at best, a gamble.

Social Services agencies are under increasing pressure to improve the effectiveness of their services and control the costs associated with fraud. Law enforcement agencies have found that the data they have already collected is an invaluable tool for use in solving new crimes. Like many organizations, data siloed across multiple departments and databases has led to significant challenges in using this information effectively. The challenges to the Intelligence community have never been greater–coping with ever-growing volumes of data make the nature of the problem all that more complicated.

The mandate is clear—government agencies and business must be able to access and share data in real time, both within and beyond their own organization. The challenge is how to do it in the real world without removing and replacing existing systems.
