The Need for Change
Being an organisation that deals with large volumes of transactional data, they recognised the need for better practice. The Group Manager of Security and Fraud Control explained, “We had an anti-fraud summit which identified the need to monitor some of our finance systems – mainly credit card, accounts payable and payroll – that provided instantaneous data that we can apply analytics to.” Secondary to this need, the senior management also wanted to foster a change in the organisational behaviour of its staff.
Choosing a Solution
Our customer required a solution which not only identified the exceptions in its transactional data, they needed something which also facilitated the handling and managing of these exceptions. Therefore, Satori was an ideal choice. Satori identified the anomalies in the customer’s data, allocated these issues to key personnel for action, and the continuous control and monitoring aspect gradually resulted in a change in employees’ behaviour.
Results
Despite implementing a premier continuous control and monitoring solution, our customer experienced teething problems fairly common amongst large organisations. The staff did not take to the new product, and exceptions were subsequently not being followed up. “Change management was one of our key challenges and we had to ensure we had a strong education program to back this up.” Once staff were fully informed about the product they began seeing the benefits of Satori. Having used Satori to monitor their staff credit card activity, the results were astounding. “We implemented that around 9 months ago, and as of two months ago our credit card usage has been down significantly as has overall credit card expense,”. Satori assisted in delivering a change in culture. “It was one of the catalysts for the policies and new procedures which ultimately lead to the behavioural changes we needed to implement”.
