FICS Partners with Business Objects to Deliver Industry-Leading Business Intelligence Capabilities to Customers
BOSTON, October 14, 2007 – Financial Industry Computer Systems, Inc. (FICS), a mortgage technology specialist that provides in-house residential origination and servicing technology and commercial servicing technology to the mortgage industry, announced at the MBA’s 94th Annual Convention and Expo that it will incorporate BusinessObjects Enterprise Professional (BOE) and Crystal Reports XI into its LoanWare product suite.
FICS selected the business intelligence tools from Business Objects, the world's leading provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, to replace CA., Inc.’s EUREKA:Reporter and further meet the existing needs of its customers.
With BusinessObjects Enterprise Professional, users can manage and deploy tools for reporting, query and analysis and performance management. Crystal Reports XI, part of the BusinessObjects XI platform, delivers easy report design, simple report maintenance and data access.
“We wanted to implement a new business intelligence tool that would not only meet the existing needs of our customers but also offer additional benefits and solutions that will enable them to succeed in the ever-changing lending arena,” said Dawn Gibbs, president and CEO of FICS. “After significant due diligence, we selected Business Objects’ business intelligence solutions because the company has a proven record of providing high value BI tools to the market, the company has an excellent reputation as a leader in the BI industry, and they were able to meet and exceed our objectives”.
The business intelligence solutions are expected to be available to FICS users in early 2008.
