SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - July 23, 2014) - Birst, the global leader in Cloud BI, today announced that FICO, a leading predictive analytics and decision management software company, has embedded Birst's business intelligence (BI) solution within the FICO® Solution Stack, FICO's Big Data, predictive analytics and decision execution development environment.
Birst's BI solution will be part of the FICO® Visual Insights Studio, a powerful toolset for visualizing, analyzing and reporting data trends in the FICO Solution Stack. Birst's enterprise-caliber data visualization and reporting capabilities will help FICO customers explore Big Data, report and respond more quickly to customer-driven events, and optimize interactions for better business performance.
"FICO is working to democratize Big Data analytics by simplifying the development, the deployment and the management of analytic applications," said David Ross, senior director of product management at FICO. "To accomplish this, we sought a BI solution that was scalable and accessible across a wide array of devices, available in the cloud, and easy to use, so that business users would not need to rely heavily on IT for support. The Birst solution was a natural fit."
"Today's businesses are not going to be satisfied with the dashboard visualizations of yesterday; they want, expect, and frankly deserve a platform that gives them the flexibility to do more with their data," said Birst Chief Product Officer and Chairman, Brad Peters. "We're providing that capability so that business users can use cutting-edge visualization tools integrated within a BI platform to easily uncover new insights from their data. By embedding Birst into FICO's groundbreaking platform, FICO will be able to provide its clients with robust visualization capabilities for the creation of innovative analytics applications, surpassing the standard dashboard functionality of other analytics applications."
