Under European regulations, it is increasingly important for financial institutions to document the decisions they make on customers, the factors that drove those decisions, and the performance of the analytic models used to make decisions. With FICO Decision Central, financial institutions can monitor and manage the evolution of every component that goes into making a decision. This gives visibility and control over an entire decision strategy, including data quality, predictive models, optimization models, machine learning algorithms, strategy trees and rule flows.

The frameworks that can be deployed within Decision Central help lenders comply with the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR), Internal Ratings-Based (IRB) Basel approach and the European’s Central Bank’s Target Review of Internal Models (TRIM). These frameworks can cut the time needed to achieve compliance by up to six months.

“We have first-hand experience of regulatory projects where Decision Central would help define and deploy complaint processes more efficiently,” said Damien Burke, partner at 4most. “The FICO software also makes ongoing compliance and interactions with auditors and regulators more effective, as all model governance information is centrally held and easily accessible.”

“4most’s insight and experience have helped us tailor Decision Central to new regulatory demands, making it easier than ever for customers to deploy,” said Steve Hadaway, general manager for FICO in EMEA. “Our software and embedded frameworks can dramatically reduce the time and effort required to become compliant and demonstrate compliance.”

FICO® Decision Central™ is part of the FICO® Decision Management Suite, an integrated platform for building and deploying analytics-based decision management applications. FICO has recently completed an executive brief on how FICO Decision Central can help banks comply with TRIM.
