Red Hat, Inc. says that FICO, the predictive analytics and decision management software company, has built and rapidly scaled the FICO® Analytic Cloud on OpenShift Enterprise, Red Hat’s award-winning private platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering.


The FICO Analytic Cloud gives application developers, business users and FICO partners around the world one-stop access to FICO’s best-in-class analytics and decision management tools and technology, including SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications for social and mobile customer engagement, targeted marketing campaign development, delinquent account management and instant credit decisioning. With OpenShift Enterprise’s development, testing, and hosting environment, FICO can easily build analytic applications and run them in the cloud architecture, reducing the time to value by up to 70 percent.


FICO has provided analytics software for more than 50 years to a wide variety of organizations, including banks, insurers, retailers, pharmaceutical companies and government agencies. The FICO Analytic Cloud provides PaaS access to the FICO® Decision Management Platform, where customers use FICO analytic and decision tools and technology to create, customize and deploy their applications and services. FICO deployed OpenShift Enterprise in order to enable its customers to create hybrid cloud solutions using the FICO Decision Management Platform and to deploy those solutions both hosted and on-premise.


FICO also relies on OpenShift’s award-winning support, provided by Red Hat Global Support Services, for sharing technical expertise and helping address partner issues.


“The relationship we have with those who support OpenShift is more than I could have ever asked for,” said Tony McGivern, CIO of FICO. “I can make one phone call and have a SWAT team assembled within an hour. When you’re working in a new, innovative, highly advanced development model like we are today, that’s a great source of security.”


FICO plans to continue and expand its collaboration with Red Hat through a future Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform implementation, building its internal PaaS offerings around a combination of OpenShift and OpenStack. FICO is running additional proofs of concept around Project Atomic, Docker and other open source projects.
