1 FACT SHEET Customer Management TRIAD version 2.0 Harness the Power of Customer-level Decisions Fair Isaac s Customer Management TRIAD adaptive control system, version 2.0 (CMT 2.0), helps forward-thinking lenders throughout the world profitably manage customer relationships that span many different product lines and channels. CMT 2.0 combines decades of Fair Isaac s analytic, decision technology, consulting and data management expertise to form an automated strategy management and decision system that manages risk at the customer level. Since the late 1990s, lenders in Europe have been using the analytics in CMT to recognize and respond to complete customer relationships. Now, with the introduction of CMT 2.0, businesses throughout the world gain access to a more powerful and flexible customer management solution that facilitates the informed use of customer data to deliver business intelligence. CMT 2.0 moves beyond tactical decision making to more insightful and profitable strategic management of customer relationships. It weighs all facets of a customer relationship rather than relying on fragmented, account-level data to drive decisions. CMT 2.0 is a strategic decision engine that addresses a key CRM objective for companies with high-volume decision management needs to consistently manage customers according to their individual potential across all touchpoints. Fair Isaac s TRIAD adaptive control system: The core of CMT 2.0 CMT 2.0 builds on the decision techniques long proven effective by TRIAD, the world s leading account management system, which today supports more than 250 clients worldwide. Since the mid-1980s, TRIAD users have had the ability to quickly develop, implement and test different credit and marketing strategies. With TRIAD at its core, CMT 2.0 incorporates data from all the customer s accounts for a full, multi-dimensional view that improves risk management and marketing decisions. CMT 2.0 and Basel II compliance Fair Isaac believes that CMT 2.0 plays an important role in meeting regulatory compliance standards, including Basel II compliance. CMT 2.0 calculates behavior scores at the customer level and enables the use of these scores in key portfolio management decision areas. These behavior risk scores can be used in calculating probability of default. Fair Isaac s Professional Services staff can help you address Basel and regulatory compliance, and they can also help your enterprise attain best-practice credit risk management. CMT 2.0 meets business needs across industries Mid- to large-sized companies in the financial services, retail, telecommunications and other industries are choosing CMT 2.0 to achieve key business objectives. CMT 2.0 wraps up all products held by a customer into a single view and this insight is then used in automated strategy design and deployment to help businesses:

2 Understand who their customers are, and pinpoint those they want to retain Allocate customer exposure across multiple products Apportion customer limits to multiple product lines Cross-sell and up-sell to existing customers to boost share of wallet React more quickly to changing market conditions Lower operational costs and stress on IT resources through decision automation Ensure consistent communications across channels: Web, branch network, call center, etc. Manage strategies consistently across key decision areas CMT 2.0 segments decision strategies into three key areas for efficient and flexible strategy management. This modular approach permits departmental control over strategies for different areas of your business, while ensuring that customers receive consistent treatment across all decision areas and touchpoints. It also supports phased implementation, so you can start with a single decision area and add others as appropriate. CMT 2.0 drives profitable decisions in each of the following areas: Credit Facilities: Exposure management for improving profits by expanding the buying power of the best customers while limiting the exposure on those who are riskier. Collections: For collecting on higher-risk customers early and giving lower-risk customers time to self-correct. The result is more dollars collected and reduced collections costs and losses. Marketing Communications: For more profitable cross-selling, building customer loyalty, and targeting solicitations to low-risk, profitable customers. How CMT 2.0 works: Data in/decisions out CMT 2.0 works in concert with your internal systems to deliver consistently fast, accurate decisions for the many customer actions that collectively drive your profitability. Companies wanting to add the power of customer-level decision making to their operations can implement CMT 2.0 without forfeiting their investments in other decision engines such as TRIAD or Fair Isaac Blaze Decision System software. Instead, CMT 2.0 works seamlessly with these systems and others. When a decision is needed, your business application sends a request to CMT 2.0, along with information such as data on total product holdings, application data, and demographic data, allowing CMT 2.0 to formulate decisions. CMT 2.0 automatically generates variables, calculates scores and applies appropriate decision criteria. The resulting decision or recommendation is returned to the requesting program for immediate action.
