Got a tough analytic challenge? Kick-start an innovative, collaborative project with the Fair Isaac Research Exchange Program.

The premise of the program is simple: We assign one of our most creative analytic scientists to work with your company on one of your hardest problems. Together, we explore and learn for up to six months. At the conclusion, Fair Isaac delivers a research findings report, including results and recommended next steps.

“Think of it as borrowing one of our best and brightest to help you solve a tough problem,” explains Fair Isaac CEO Dr. Mark Greene. “The criteria are pretty strict—we are looking for hard, important problems that will take our science into new avenues—but the payoff for both sides can be eye-opening.”

Past projects include:

• Researching ways with HSBC to tackle uncertainty in decision modeling, a key theme in building out its “optimization factory”
  
• Enabling a large North American client to shift from product-siloed to customer-level cross-sell decisions, resulting in a new product, Action Segments for Customer Marketing

There is no fee for the Research Exchange Program, and Fair Isaac covers the scientist’s salary. Participating clients pay only for travel expenses, if necessary.
