VisuaLinks Delivers Unparalleled Depths Into Advanced Visual Analytics
Enabling City Power to Transform Outdated Reporting System
Into State-of-the-Art Analysis Centers
POOLESVILLE, Md., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Visual Analytics Inc. (VAI)
announced today that the biggest Metropolitan Council, that of Johannesburg,
South Africa's City Power Division, has chosen VisuaLinks(R)
(http://www.visualinks.com) as their primary data mining, sharing, and
analytics solution to collect actionable intelligence to assist in criminal
investigations associated with power and utilities fraud.
International security and risk management specialists, Risk Diversion,
are responsible for customer sales and support and are the point of contact
for City Power. Risk Diversion is a certified VisuaLinks reseller in South
Africa.
"VisuaLinks is extremely user friendly with superior analysis features
that allow for faster and more thorough analysis," said Chris Westphal, CEO of
Visual Analytics (http://www.visualanalytics.com). "It was very important
that City Power analysts be able to get up and running quickly. With
VisuaLinks, this was quickly realized. Now they have a state-of-the-art,
advanced analytics and sharing system."
After testing several software-based alternatives, City Power selected the
platform-independent suite offered by Visual Analytics. The VisuaLinks
standards-based approach enabled quick customization to meet the organizations
agency-specific requirements. In addition to seamless data analysis, City
Power can also identify potential syndicate activities, trends and hotspots.
City Power, the electricity utility company for the Greater Johannesburg
Metropolitan Council (GJMC), was formed in January 2001 after the merger of
five municipalities to form South Africa's largest metropolis. Johannesburg's
250,000 customers buy 70 percent of the total energy in the city from City
Power. The balance is sold to them by national electricity utility Eskom.
VisuaLinks' next-generation approach allows organizations to keep control
and oversight of their data while, at the same time, sharing their data with
other organizations or agencies. It also bypasses the need for data to be
translated into a central data warehouse, saving organizations an enormous
amount of time and money and guaranteeing the most up-to-date and accurate
information.
