Geospatial technology has dramatically improved the workflow and traditional methods used to prevent and detect fraud. The ability to visualize data has identified new trends and patterns which went undetected in their original tabular format. This presentation introduces how the implementation of GIS and the use of spatial analytics have improved efficiency and effectiveness, increased the identification of investigative leads, and identified potential problems areas for corrective action.
