“Decision intelligence platforms (DIPs) can help D&A leaders address and fill critical needs by providing software for decision service development that supports, augments and automates decision making of humans or machines. All of this is powered by the composition of data, analytics, knowledge and AI techniques. The use cases for DIPs — which we define as decision analysis, decision engineering, decision science and decision stewardship — are reflective of the user personas and related decision intelligence skills needed to define, manage, observe and collaborate across the decision life cycle.”
“We believe this recognition validates our vision for FICO Platform as we continue to shape the future of the intelligent enterprise and underscores why our customers place their trust in FICO," said Nikhil Behl, president of software at FICO. “FICO Platform excels at decision engineering by enabling our customers to compose and operationalize scalable decision services through a business-centric approach with world class AI and data streaming capabilities.”
