Fair Isaac Named to Collection Advisor Magazine's List of Top 100 Collection Technology Products for 2006
"On behalf of the magazine, we are very pleased to bestow this honor on Fair Isaac for the second consecutive year," says T. Allen Rose, Collection Advisor Editor and Publisher. "Fair Isaac represents a market leader whose solutions for collections and recovery present true innovation and insight within the industry."
"We are very pleased to have our capabilities and commitment to the consumer collections and recovery industry recognized for the second year in a row," said David Lightfoot, vice president of product management, Collections and Recovery, at Fair Isaac. "This recognition spotlights our continued innovation and leadership in providing organizations with a complete end-to-end solution that drives more dollars to their bottom line in the most efficient way possible."
Fair Isaac was honored for its capabilities in two categories: Scoring and EDI/EDM. The company received its recognition for its custom scoring and modeling technology in the Scoring category, and ScoreNet® network in the EDI/EDM category. The company's custom scoring solutions help lenders and collection agencies more effectively manage their pre- and post-charge-off efforts in the dynamic collections and recovery environment, combining the use of more meaningful data with an infrastructure that allows for continuous monitoring and updating of models.

It manages and distributes information between data sources and service providers, and applies Fair Isaac's analytics and decision management technology on demand to help lenders improve their most critical business decisions.
