Fair Isaac recently announced the results and availability of a new study analyzing return on investment (ROI) for Fair Isaac Blaze Advisor rules management technology. The white paper was commissioned by Fair Isaac and conducted by premier global market intelligence and advisory firm IDC. After examining the development and deployment of major automated systems, the study concludes that organizations utilizing Blaze Advisor derive significant cost savings, improved time to market and increased productivity.
Fair Isaac commissioned IDC to conduct case studies on Blaze Advisor customers in the financial services, government and technology sectors and perform a cost-benefit analysis based on IDC’s standard ROI methodology. Customer ROI time frames ranged from three to eight years of historical and projected results. The study shows that the overall cumulative composite ROI percentage for all surveyed companies was 210% and the cumulative composite ROI value was $3.8 million, suggesting significant savings over the collective time horizon for the analysis.



“For all customers surveyed, Fair Isaac’s Blaze Advisor business rules management solution achieved real-time savings and increased productivity for conducting business through the use of rules technology in application development and modifications,” said Rikki Kirzner, Research Director, Application Development and Deployment, IDC. “The benefits were driven by shortened development and deployment cycles once the rules management approach was in place.”
