Integrated Credit and Collateral Risk Management Vendors: Part 2, Vendor Reviews
Analyst Author: Craig Focardi, CMB, Justin Bomberowitz

Since the inception of the Great Recession of 2008–10, mortgage loan portfolios have so deteriorated that fundamental change in assessing risk is required to staunch the delinquencies and revenue loss. Vendors have made strides in updating solutions, marketing new ones, and forming strategic partnerships to offer a spectrum of integrated credit and collateral risk management services and software to a broad range of financial services institutions. This Research Note evaluates leading vendors CoreLogic, Experian, FICO, IBM/Cognos, LPS, Moody's Analytics, and SAS. The report will be of use not only to institutions but also to vendors determining the best way to offer their services.
