FICO (NYSE:FICO), announced a partnership agreement with Chilean company Adacom, aimed at delivering advanced decision management solutions to insurance companies in Latin America. Starting immediately, Adacom will work with FICO to implement FICO™ Blaze Advisor™ business rules management system for insurance companies in Chile and Peru, with a planned expansion of this partnership to the rest of Latin America.
