Our Subscribers Say...

I think Credit Today is fantastic. You cover many practical topics in the credit field that I use regularly. Just one recent example—a conversation on the ListServ about preferential payments—gave me tips that I used in an actual case. The specific information I picked up from this one discussion saved me $10,000, enough to cover my membership for many years!
- Steve Savino
Manager of Credit & Collections, ASSA Abloy Americas Division, New Haven, CT

Credit Today's Resource Directory and their online e-mail forum (ListServ) provide information on almost any credit-related topic you can think of. It is a great way to exchange information with other credit professionals. As the saying goes, "You don't know what you don't know."
- Scott Goen, Credit Manager, Big Lots Stores, Inc., Wholesale Division

"We've recently started using the ListServ tool within Credit Today. This is phenomenal and powerful forum for gaining immediate feedback, ideas, and suggestions, relative to any credit topic under the sun, all in a real-time e-mail format."
-Javier Vela, Senior Credit Manager, Global Credit Services, JDA Software Group Inc.

"Being a part of the Credit Today online community is like having the expertise of hundreds of credit managers at your fingertips. These credit execs are willing to help you solve topical business issues as they arise. In the current environment of ever increasing competing priorities which reduce our opportunities to meet peers out of the office face-to-face, this is the most valuable tool you can have on your desktop! It's important that we have a mechanism to reach out to our counterparts quickly to exchange knowledge as well as to stay on top of industry trends."
- Victoria Artis, Director of Customer Financial Services, Pfizer, Inc.

"Over the last 10 years I've seen Credit Today evolve from a monthly credit publication into a quality source of information and guidance for the B2B credit community. The website, with its user friendly form downloads, will take you from examples of new account credit applications to bankruptcy forms and everything in between.

The Credit Today ListServ has become the pre-imminent online forum, providing an opportunity for discussion and comments (and occasional humor) from an impressive list of credit professionals."
David Dungan, Director of Credit
Justin Brands, Inc. (A Berkshire Hathaway company)
Fort Worth, Texas

"There are numerous credit periodicals available to the credit professional today. How good is Credit Today? Is it relevant? I always have to read it late, or online because my credit analysts want to read it the minute it comes in. When my staff wants to read a publication before I have a chance to read it then something is working in that publication. We have cancelled our other subscriptions. When you have the best you do not need the rest."
Ron Woods
Corporate Credit Manager-World Wide
Thales Navigation, Inc.

"The newsletter, coupled with the website and the ListServ, are to us, more valuable than any other credit publication, bar none. I try to use at least one article out of each newsletter for departmental training/discussion sessions."
D. Mark Constantine
Corporate Credit Mgr
Fulton Paper Company

"I love Credit Today and read every issue cover to cover. For me, the greatest perk of a subscription is ListServ. I believe Credit Today's ListServ members may be the most knowledgeable Credit brain trust in existence today. I have saved and categorized hundreds of contributions on a wide variety of topics which I refer to often. It's an easy and cost effective way to network and learn."

Forseva Integrates PredictiveMetrics' Suite of Predictive Scoring Solutions
July 6, 2010
Printer-Friendly Format



Forseva integrates statistical-based scoring models into its software for the application of risk based collections, credit line management, and portfolio monitoring

Tinton Falls, NJ -- July 6, 2010 - PredictiveMetrics, Inc. (http://www.predictivemetrics.com) the leading provider of statistical-based predictive scoring and analytical solutions and Forseva (http://www.forseva.com) a provider of award winning sales, credit, and collection software applications announce the integration of PredictiveMetrics' suite of portfolio credit and collection scoring models within its systems.

PredictiveMetrics' portfolio credit and collection scoring products predict the specific probability of a current GOOD customer going BAD at some point during the six month period from the date of the score. Each client defines the "BAD" definition used in the model. This timely strategic partnership allows Forseva users to utilize the predictive power of statistical-based portfolio scoring as the basis for developing collection strategies based on risk, order release or repeat transactions with existing customers, portfolio management, and credit line management.

"PredictiveMetrics' portfolio scoring models leverage a company's internal accounts receivable data, which is proven to be the most predictive data for portfolio credit and collection management. PredictiveMetrics' statistical-based scoring solutions have helped many leading companies reduce DSO and losses while increasing the efficiency of operations through optimal resource allocation" stated Michael Banasiak, President of PredictiveMetrics. "These models provide superior collection prioritization by knowing the probability of BAD (PBAD) and the dollars at risk based on a model validation of the company's accounts."

"We are very excited about the benefits that the PredictiveMetrics and Forseva partnership will deliver to the marketplace. Companies are continually seeking ways to accurately forecast their customers' ability to pay," said Mike Horvath, Forseva CMO. "Combining ForsevaTRM, our award-winning CRM-enabled credit and collections management application, with PredictiveMetrics' statistical scoring models, will enable companies to make more informed sales, credit and collections decisions throughout the quote-to-cash cycle with customers--in a fully automated fashion."

Prior to purchase, PredictiveMetrics offers a free retrospective validation analysis to see how well its model predicts future payment performance on the clients' portfolio or a champion / challenger analysis to compare the current model they are using to its model. This analysis shows the model's ability to differentiate future problem payers from future timely payers and quantifies how accurately the model predicts future customer payment behavior.
