"Financial services companies are continuing to invest in integrated, end-to-end enterprise fraud and case management technologies," said George Tubin, senior research director at TowerGroup.  "Enterprise case management is becoming critical for overall firm risk management and financial crime investigations."

In addition to robust and intuitive investigative tools, a key feature of Syfact`s solution is its ability to permanently store all types of investigative information in a single interlinked database that can be accessed, searched, linked and cross referenced during future investigations and cases.  

"Syfact has a rich history as a pioneer of case management systems for investigation and prosecution of serious crimes," says David Sosna, CEO of Actimize. "Over the years, they have built tremendous expertise and best practices while solving some of the most complex investigative challenges. We are confident that this acquisition will compliment and expand upon Actimize`s enterprise financial crime platform.
