Call For Entries: The FICO Decision Management Awards

March 13, 2009 (Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) – In recognition of the growing importance and value of decision management in the financial services industry, FICO™ has established the FICO Decision Management Awards to honor businesses that have achieved outstanding results from their use of decision management technology to grow their businesses, manage risk and reduce costs. The program is open to all banking and insurance companies using FICO Decision Management solutions.

This year, awards will be presented in three categories: credit risk management, fraud control and insurance claims management. Nominations are due July 1, 2009, and winners will be announced September 1, 2009. Winners will receive recognition at FICO’s annual conference, FICO World, in 2010. Winning implementations will be featured in conference activities, and two representatives of the winning company will receive complimentary conference passes. In addition, a $1,000 contribution will be made to the charitable organization of each winner’s choice.

An independent panel of judges representing the media, industry analysts and FICO will evaluate nominations based upon measureable improvement in key metrics; demonstrated use of best practices; project scale, depth and breadth; and innovative uses of Decision Management technology. Results do not have to have been achieved in the current calendar year; however, products cited in the nomination must be within two releases of the current version.

“We’re consistently impressed by the meaningful results our clients achieve through the combination of their ingenuity and our Decision Management solutions,” said Laurent Pacalin, chief marketing officer at FICO. “By upholding the best examples of this sort of collaboration for all to see, we believe the entire industry will benefit.”

Additional information and a nomination form can be obtained by emailing FICO at clientsuccess@fairisaac.com.
