Fair Isaac's Model Builder 3.0 Provides Businesses with More Capabilities for Improving Customer Decisions

(Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) - Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced the immediate availability of Model Builder version 3.0, a core component of Fair Isaac's technologies for Enterprise Decision Management (EDM).

The newest release of Fair Isaac's software platform for developing and deploying analytic models helps organizations secure more precise insights into future transactions, customer behavior and business outcomes.

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. Clients can quickly define, test and deploy models to production systems including mainframes without recoding by programmers. This allows companies to move from data analysis to production status much faster than is possible with traditional modeling software. It also results in better compliance with regulatory requirements, easier monitoring and modification of decision models and fewer modeling errors.

Model Builder 3.0 incorporates several new features that provide an unparalleled level of control and feedback to fine-tune predictive models for optimized business benefits. The optional Segmentation ART™ (Adaptive Random Trees) module improves the quality of predictions by automatically recognizing segments of the data population that can benefit from specialized models.

"Model Builder 3.0 improves our clients' ability to build models that provide a more comprehensive view of their customer relationships, which in turn can drive more effective campaigns and results," said Andrew Flint, director of product management, EDM at Fair Isaac. "As we continue to deliver decision management innovations, the introduction of ART technology provides an approach that is superior to traditional, manual techniques used to build and deploy systems of segmented models."

The Segmentation ART module debuts Fair Isaac's genetic algorithm approach to creating systems of segmented models that predict outcomes with greater precision than other model segmentation techniques. The ART technology automatically optimizes and evolves the segmentations toward better solutions, thereby eliminating the need to create and evaluate segmentation trees manually.

Release 3.0 of Fair Isaac's Model Builder offers several other key enhancements in functionality:

• An Infer Performance Wizard, which provides the scorecard module user with significant productivity gains by streamlining the preparation for reject inference and automating the generation of common diagnostic reports.
• Variable templates, which improve the workflow for data preparation and transform data into a form that is more predictive and enhances model performance.
• High Throughput Computing (HTC) via a grid architecture, which enables large modeling teams to maximize the use of their computing resources by integrating third-party job scheduling products to balance load across servers, queue large jobs to avoid congestion, and route jobs to servers specifically configured for a given job type.

Additionally, Model Builder 3.0 can export its predictive models to Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML). PMML is considered to be the most widely deployed data mining standard that uses an XML markup language to describe statistical and data mining models. PMML allows for the swift and flexible deployment of models into production systems, and is supported by a wide range of technology providers including IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, and Teradata.
