MIDDLETON, Mass., Oct. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Quadrant Knowledge Solutions recently announced that it has named ACI Worldwide as a 2021 technology leader in the SPARK Matrix analysis of the global Enterprise Fraud Management (EFM) market.

The Quadrant Knowledge Solutions SPARK Matrix™ includes a detailed analysis of global Enterprise Fraud Management (EFM) market dynamics, major trends, vendor landscape, and competitive positioning.

In this age of digital economy, financial institutions and merchants are continuously striving to improve customer experience by adding innovative services, improving omnichannel support, and facilitating frictionless purchases. Furthermore, global payment dynamics are rapidly changing with the growing popularity of digital banking, and emerging payment methods (mobile apps, blockchain, others) spurred on by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. However, digitization has also exposed organizations to an ever-increasing number of vulnerabilities that can be exploited for various fraudulent activities. Therefore, organizations across the globe are evaluating their existing fraud detection and prevention strategies and looking at deploying advanced fraud detection technologies to actively detect and prevent fraud, minimize losses, improve fraud investigation, comply with global norms, and enhance the overall customer experience.

According to the research "SPARK Matrix: Enterprise Fraud Management (EFM), 2021", a majority of the leading EFM vendors provide capabilities including data integration, behavioural analytics, a robust risk scoring engine, real-time detection and interdiction, alerting and case management, omnichannel support, and visualization and reporting. However, the breadth and depth of these functionalities may differ by vendor offerings.
