Business Intelligence Beats Back Food Stamp Fraud
Business Intelligence Beats Back Food Stamp Fraud is a CIO Insight case study that has a few cool points, including a very practicle use of GIS technology:
"We could mine some of the data, but we just couldn't drill down far enough to get what we wanted," says Pease. "In one investigation it took us three weeks or longer to get the reports we needed and we knew we needed a better way to see the data."
It wasn't until Pease put in place geographic information system (GIS) software from ESRI in the spring of 2004 that the data started to take shape. Plotting more than 100 million transactions annually on a map of the state, Pease saw clear patterns, such as people traveling long distances to redeem their food stamps at particular stores.
