SAN JOSE, Calif. — March 13, 2014 — FICO (NYSE:FICO), a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, today announced its intention to acquire InfoCentricity, a private, software-as-a-service-based predictive analytics software company based in Novato, California. The transaction is expected to close in April, 2014, upon satisfaction of typical closing conditions. Although terms were not disclosed, the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the company’s 2014 financial results.

With this acquisition, FICO immediately has the broadest offering for predictive analytics modeling, available in the cloud and on-premise.
