      Debt Collection & Recovery

      When it comes to collections and analytics, there are a lot of funny ideas out there. See if any of these ring a bell: If I’m using a score to make decisions, it’s good enough on its own. If I apply more resources to a case, I’ll collect more. Analytics are too expensive, and I don’t get a return on my investment. Sound familiar? At FICO, we have heard thes…

But before you start looking for a radioactive spider or a handy gamma-ray machine, check out FICO’s tongue-in-cheek new infographic, The Customer-Centric Collector Rises.

      Should our company deploy origination software on-premises or in the cloud? We’ve been fielding quite a few questions along these lines after recently launching our own FICO® Origination Manager 4.5, the first release that can be deployed either way. In this post, I’ll answer some of the top questions we’re hearing, including: Why move to the cloud? What are the o…

Business analysts can create and deploy new decision models to manage portfolios of credit card and loan products in just…
