T-Mobile Selects Minotaur

T-Mobile USA Inc. said it has contracted T-Systems North America Inc. and Neural Technologies to provide a new fraud management tool to protect customer data.

Neural Technologies, a provider of risk management solutions, has cooperated with T-Systems to implement its Minotaur risk management tool. T-Mobile will use the fraud management solution to automate many manual processes with the detection methods to react quicker to potential fraud events. T-Mobile said it will be able to better identify and stop fraud either before it happens, or as soon after an anomaly or change is detected.

“We chose Minotaur because it is a single technology platform for multiple risk management applications and is configurable to meet our needs,” said

Robert Strickland, senior vice president and chief information officer for T-Mobile USA. “Minotaur has the flexibility to add new data feeds, rules, neural models and profiles as our business needs change.”

T-Systems will serve as Prime Contractor and Integrator for hardware and software integration and services for the rollout of the fraud management system. Additionally, T-Systems and Neural Technologies will work together to address the evolving risk management needs of T-Mobile.
