Decision Management Community Expands in Response to Burgeoning Demand

April 9, 2009 (Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) – FICO™ (NYSE: FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced the expansion of the Decision Management Community to enable free discussion and exchange on the broadest array of issues and ideas about the practice of decision management.

Originally focusing on empowering the developers who work with decision management tools, the community has grown in just a few months to include thousands of registered users. In response to this demand, FICO broadened the scope of the community in mid-March. Within the first two weeks, hundreds of additional new participants registered, including technical and business professionals responsible for risk and fraud management, scoring and collections & recovery.

“Our analytics and decision management technology is powerful, and we constantly look for new ways to empower our customers to use that power to their advantage,” said Laurent Pacalin, chief marketing officer at FICO. “People with decision management responsibilities need to stay abreast of the newest ideas and best practices that apply to their business. By supporting expansion of the Decision Management Community, we’re accomplishing our goal of allowing the best ideas from the brightest minds to be brought to bear on the greatest challenges facing businesses today.”

New topical “neighborhoods” have been established within the Decision Management Community focusing on business rules management, risk management, collections and recovery, fraud management and scoring. Within each neighborhood, participants have 24x7 access to answers and advice, white papers and other resources, and a unique ideas exchange in which peers – business analysts, developers, FICO domain experts and others – can post, vote on and discuss ideas with each other.

Registration is quick and completely free at http://decisions.fico.com.
