PR - Balancing Risk and Growth to Top Agenda at Fair Isaac's 2008 InterAct Conference

Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE: FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, announced today that leading research and advisory services firm TowerGroup will present findings of an exclusive decision management survey of major credit card issuers and consumer lenders at its 2008 North American InterACT customer conference, to be held April 27-30 in San Francisco.

The critical importance of effective, connected decision making to balancing risk and growth is intensified in a turbulent economic and regulatory environment. This theme will run throughout the forum, which will bring together business leaders, regulators, and industry experts from financial services, insurance, retail, and healthcare.

The TowerGroup survey, commissioned by Fair Isaac, is designed to assess the decision management capabilities of credit card issuers and consumer lenders compared to others in the credit industry. It will provide InterACT delegates with uniquely valuable insight into the ways top lenders and issuers make complex decisions – about fraud management, collections, and risk – quickly and effectively.

"From higher consumer debt burdens to the global liquidity crisis, the volatility of the economy has brought decision management into sharp focus," said Mike Campbell, chief operating officer, Fair Isaac Corporation. "But opportunities exist even in difficult times.
Business leaders who deploy the most advanced decision management tools and strategies will find themselves at a competitive advantage in this environment."

The survey can be taken anytime until April 4, 2008 as part of the online InterACT registration process at www.fairisaac.com/interactsurvey. Survey respondents will be eligible for an additional $100 discount on their conference registration fee.

Ted Iacobuzio, managing director and practice leader for payments at TowerGroup, will present the survey results as part of his closing keynote address, "Connected Decision Making in Turbulent Times," on Wednesday, April 30. Lenders interested in learning more about this topic also can access an informative white paper and webinar presentation by Ted Iacobuzio at www.triad-debtmanager.com.

Now in its 32nd year, InterACT will feature more than 80 sessions, including case studies, research results, industry panels and strategy discussions on how to manage rising debt levels, accelerate growth while managing risk, deal with new sources of competition, turn regulation from a cost to a competitive advantage, and aggressively combat new forms of fraud.

Participants will network with Fair Isaac advisors and industry peers from more than 30 countries in discussion groups and at other conference events. The InterACT Product Expo will offer opportunities to learn about the latest analytic and decision management technologies and strategies that can help businesses make smarter decisions across the customer lifecycle.
