Welcome to the latest issue of QAS's Insight newsletter. I am delighted to introduce this issue as Group Managing Director of QAS.

Amongst other exciting articles, this issue of e-Insight explores the financial implications data can have on an organisation, based on findings from recently commissioned research.

I also urge you to read a feature article by Jim Lound, of Experian, which reveals the vast implications of ID fraud within the UK financial market, and considers electronic methods of identity checking to help combat fraud.

There is also a focus on product development with the release of QuickAddress Pro Web, the first and only solution in the world to offer 'Typedown' functionality to accurately predict address data from minimal information.

It is now a year since Experian acquired QAS and you'll have read about many of our achievements to date. You'll be pleased to know we have more developments in the pipeline, so watch this space!
