A powerful new performance management tool to analyze information better, faster, and more easily

Visa understands that managing and administering a government payment program can be time-consuming and tedious. That’s why we developed Visa® IntelliLink, an intuitive, web-based information-services application that lets you work smarter and more productively. This innovative solution allows easy, convenient access to information that can improve misuse detection and management, enable more effective sourcing, and improve program management efficiency.

Transforming data into information

Visa IntelliLink starts by taking the data generated by government payment programs—including transaction, accounts payable, vendor, and enhanced data—and transforms it into easily accessible information. This information is made available to you through a simple web-based application that requires no special hardware, software, or special specific programming knowledge.

Transforming information into knowledge

Visa IntelliLink then gives you tools that turn this information into knowledge to help detect and evaluate card misuse, identify cost-savings opportunities, and provide oversight across agency and performance metrics at a glance.

Transforming knowledge into intelligence

Most importantly, Visa IntelliLink turns knowledge into transparent intelligence you can manage. By incorporating advanced analytic techniques such as neural network technologies, pattern recognition, and “machine learning,” Visa IntelliLink becomes progressively more adept at presenting transactions that represent potential misuse.
