Case Study: ACI Worldwide achieves real-time, scalable payments intelligence and improved fraud detection with DataStax Enterprise (DataStax)

ACI Worldwide, Inc. Innovative Payments Intelligence on a Global Scale

ACI Worldwide, a Florida-based leader in payments software that powers electronic payments for more than 5,100 organizations—including 18 of the world’s 20 largest banks and 300+ major retailers—needed to store and analyze massive, highly variable transaction data from ATMs, POS, mobile and eCommerce channels. The company faced multi/hybrid cloud complexity, the need for 24/7 uptime during volatile seasonal spikes, and a rising rate of eCommerce fraud that demanded real-time, scalable fraud detection and advanced machine learning.

ACI selected DataStax Enterprise, an active-everywhere, Cassandra-based database, to support its real-time complex event processing and batch analytics across hybrid clouds with zero downtime. The solution delivered a high-performance payments intelligence platform that scales on demand, improves fraud detection and false-positive rates, saves customers millions, and accelerates machine-learning-driven innovation and time-to-market.
