Linea S.p.A. Implements Fair Isaac's Model Builder Platform to Improve Credit Risk Assessment Capabilities

Linea S.p.A. selected Fair Isaac's Model Builder for Predictive Analytics, version 3.0, to enhance capabilities for developing, implementing and monitoring retail risk scorecards and models across its consumer finance products, including credit cards, auto and cash loans.

Model Builder, a key part of Fair Isaac's Enterprise Decision Management technologies, provides Linea S.p.A. with the power to quickly design, modify and deploy sophisticated analytic models to production systems without recoding by programmers. These models use historical information as a basis for making better decisions about future transactions, business problems and customer interactions.

"We selected Fair Isaac's Model Builder because it is the best tool to help us expand our consumer credit portfolio while still controlling and monitoring risk," said Corrado Giannasca, deputy general manager for Credit and Risk at Linea S.p.A. "Fair Isaac's advanced modeling platform will allow us to significantly improve the efficiency and functionality of our modeling capabilities, and better leverage critical data assets so that we can make the best decisions about our customers."

"Model Builder gives Linea S.p.A. analysts direct access to the same innovative analytic techniques that Fair Isaac analysts use every day to build powerful custom predictive models that can be readily deployed across the enterprise," said John Sandifer, Fair Isaac vice president of Financial Services, EMEA market. "It provides all the capabilities Linea S.p.A. will need to develop a range of different models, and most importantly, drive significant efficiency and continuity within its analytics business."

Model Builder's advanced modeling capabilities support the design and deployment of decision management applications that can be configured to meet the unique needs of different businesses. Users gain an unparalleled level of control and feedback to fine-tune predictive models for optimized business benefits. In addition to the Scorecard module, Model Builder includes an optional Segmentation ART™ (Adaptive Random Trees) module, which improves the quality of predictions by automatically recognizing segments of the data population that can benefit from specialized models.

The recently introduced version 3,5 of Fair Isaac's Model Builder also offers the company's innovative Data Spiders™ technology as an optional module. Data Spiders technology helps businesses extract maximized value from their transaction data to build stronger predictive models and make more precise decisions across their enterprise applications.
