Enhances Commercial Credit and Collections Management Capabilities following its acquisition of TDX in the UK
Equifax Inc. (NYSE:EFX) has acquired Forseva, LLC a Chicago based leading provider of end-to-end, cloud-based credit and collections management solutions. The company will become a part of Equifax Commercial Information Solutions.
This is an interesting development. Equifax’s commercial solutions business has gone nowhere since its inception 20 ago. It suffers from a similar fate of other commercial credit information providers – low growth. In Q4 2014 Equifax’s North American commercial solutions business declined by 3%. This acquisition comes right at the heel of the acquisition of UK based TDX offering end to end risk management solutions.
“The addition of Forseva’s cloud-based platform underscores our commitment to be the leading provider of B2B insights by making it easier for our customers to analyze risk, collaborate across functions and transact business wherever they are,” said Alex Gonzalez, President, Equifax Commercial Information Solutions. “The combination of our deep SMB expertise and advanced analytics with Forseva’s market-leading technology enables us to deliver innovative, integrated solutions more rapidly, and will help our customers grow their business more effectively and profitably across the customer lifecycle.”
“We are very pleased to join the Equifax family,” said Charles Craigmile, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forseva, LLC. “Our combined solution will provide customers with the same product innovation and obsession with customer service they have come to expect from Forseva along with the advantage of the analytical expertise and global reach from Equifax. This is a win-win for customers large and small.”
