Situation

FICO was operating on multiple disparate enterprise systems which were not integrated with the organization’s financial tools. The lack of efficiency in and between systems resulted in excessive IT support costs to maintain each application, and with numerous customizations, IT spend was mounting. EPM applications were outdated, had significant data limitations, and the complexity was creating a resistance to change among current users.
FICO’s objective was to develop a 12-18-month roadmap for financial reporting with a focus on:

  • Integration of financial data and improved data governance;
  • Enhanced reporting and analytics capabilities;
  • Best practices and solution alignment;
  • Prioritized deployments;

FICO’s assessment and modernization of its financial management and analytics applications has significantly enhanced its operations and streamlined reporting."
