CSRSA General Session - Commercial Analytics

March 27, 2018

Speakers: George Staikos and Regina Malina - Equifax (Commercial Analytics)

Description:

This presentation will discuss commercial trends, commercial risk and marketing activities. Commercial credit adjudication is often a very manual process. There are few products in the market that enable consistent commercial predictive analytics and decisioning. Our new current commercial risk scores and attributes leverage industry trade data, SBB data public and filmographies data to provide the tools necessary to optimize these processes within the FI vertical.
