Sales of GIACT's EPIC Platform were especially strong with increased interest in enrollments, authentication, and account verification. Identity-related solutions saw the highest growth with a fourfold increase in sales. "As fraudsters increasingly turn to synthetic identities as a preferred method for fraud, we have seen the industry quickly put more focus on solutions that are able to effectively stop synthetic ID fraud," said David Barnhardt, EVP of product of GIACT.

New customers spanned a diverse range of industries, including financial services, ecommerce and retail, insurance, utilities, and others. GIACT also added several resellers and strategic partners who will integrate GIACT's solutions into their own product offerings. New employees were added in every department, especially sales, customer support, and implementation to ensure GIACT maintains its high-levels of customer satisfaction.

"GIACT's performance in 2017 is the result of our employees' tireless dedication to our customers, as well as our passion for developing new products that address the rapidly-evolving landscape of payments fraud," said Melissa Townsley, co-founder and CEO of GIACT. "We will continue to aggressively invest in bringing industry-leading solutions to market as we strive for even higher levels of growth."
