IBM® Relationship Resolution helps organizations solve business problems related to recognizing the true identity of someone or something ("who is who") and determining the potential value or danger of relationships ("who knows who") among customers, employees, vendors, and other external forces. IBM Relationship Resolution provides immediate and actionable information to help prevent threat, fraud, abuse, and collusion in all industries.
In many organizations, the raw data that represents identities and relationships already exists. The problem with most systems is that there is no simple way to manage, analyze, and resolve the volume of data that you need to gain the maximum insight from it.
With IBM Relationship Resolution, organizations can manage, analyze, and integrate data in real time from any source, such as customer databases, vendor lists, employee databases, regulatory compliance lists, and streaming data feeds. IBM Relationship Resolution sends real-time alerts to analysts, security, or other personnel for further investigation. IBM Relationship Resolution can also help identify the network value of customers or their market segments, based on a comprehensive view of the customer.
Using IBM Relationship Resolution, organizations can construct a central, dynamic entity database that can be used as a platform for all their knowledge-based applications. IBM Relationship Resolution integrates with other enterprise systems through a wide variety of protocols and technologies.
Using the core process of entity resolution, IBM Relationship Resolution resolves inconsistent, ambiguous identity records into comprehensive entities across multiple data sets, despite deliberate attempts at misrepresentation.
Building on the entity relationship process, IBM Relationship Resolution detects relationships between entities in the entity database, as records from multiple data sources are loaded and processed.
IBM Relationship Resolution also supports customizable rule-based exception reporting, so organizations can specify which entities resolved or which relationships detected trigger alerts.
