Luxembourg, 15th October 2009 – Qatar’s newest communications company announced today its decision to implement the evolutionary fraud management system – FMSlite™ - from XINTEC SA, an up‐and‐coming global provider of fraud management, revenue assurance, and roaming solutions.

As Vodafone introduces full quadruple‐play (wireless, fixed‐line, television and broadband) services to Qatar, protecting the network from potential abuse from the earliest stage is critical to ensuring a rapid and healthy subscriber uptake.

This recently launched fraud management platform will bring immediate benefits to the network with its ability to detect suspicious behaviour and prevent network abuse in near‐real time.

Enjoying accreditation from the Vodafone Group, XINTEC has pioneered the concept of a lightweight, yet powerful and robust fraud management system (FMS) designed to detect fraud at multiple levels (pre‐ and postpaid, home network, roaming, fixed‐line, etc.) making its FMSlite™ the world’s first converged platform of its kind.

“The choice for FMSlite™ was clear for several reasons, not least that we get all the functionality we need from a fraud management system without the show‐stopping costs we see all too often” commented Rob James, Head of Fraud, Risk & Security at Vodafone Qatar.

“We’re delighted at Vodafone Qatar’s decision to appoint XINTEC to combat fraud and protect the profitability of their business” said XINTEC CEO Sean Killeen.
