Samsung Life Insurance selects ILOG BRMS for its Advanced Insurance Fraud Detection System


ILOG® (NASDAQ: ILOG; Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364) today announced that ILOG JRules®, a key offering in ILOG’s business rule management system (BRMS) product line, has helped leading South Korean insurer Samsung Life Insurance identify fraud much faster through the creation of an advanced Insurance Fraud Detection System (IFDS). In addition to contributing to greater automation of the fraud detection process, ILOG JRules has shortened the inspection time for processing 10,000 claims from two weeks to just one day.

Similar to other countries in the Asia Pacific region, many of South Korea’s insured are entering retirement age. With escalating insurance policy adoption, there is an increased potential for insurance fraud. According to a statement from the Korean Financial Supervisory Service, the number of detected insurance fraud cases increased 46.4 percent in 2006 compared to 2005. Additionally, the trend for financial fraud crimes, such as insurance fraud, lost card fraud and tax evasion, is becoming more diversified and complicated.

Utilizing the ILOG JRules, Samsung Life can draw upon the knowledge accumulated from past insurance fraud management work and translate that knowledge into business rules that can be managed and executed by the BRMS, reducing the instances of fraudulent claims.

"Utilizing BRMS, we shortened the inspection process for processing 10,000 claims per day from 2 weeks to 1 day. The field workers can apply the new rules in real time. The more I get to know about the more advanced functions of ILOG BRMS, the more I am impressed by this incredible technology."
