Having invented the credit origination software market decades ago, FICO recognized that with rapid changes in the regulatory environment and with new data sources coming online all the time, clients would need a more flexible version of its FICO Origination Manager that supported rapid iteration with less cost and effort. The development team behind the rebuild of FICO® Origination Manager had ambitious goals: deliver a highly flexible platform for customers, while cutting FICO’s development time and costs. Fortunately, FICO’s recent launch of the FICO Decision Management Platform with FICO Application Studio, a white-labeled version of OutSystems, was available for the team. FICO was able to leverage the power of the high-productivity application development platform and use it to complete their project under budget and in less time than they had anticipated.
