Case Study: FICO accelerates innovation and compliance with Microsoft Azure and Office 365

Technology that is raising FICO’s innovation score

The data analytics titan FICO sought to modernize its corporate technology infrastructure, moving away from maintaining its own third-party servers for email, data stability, and security. This operational burden, compounded by the need to pass 300 annual audits, drained engineering resources from core, revenue-generating work. To address this, FICO partnered with Microsoft Corporation to transition to the cloud using Microsoft Azure and Office 365.

By implementing Microsoft's Azure cloud services and Office 365 suite, including Exchange Online and Skype for Business, FICO gained scalable, secure, and compliant solutions. This shift freed infrastructure engineers from maintenance tasks like patching and backups, allowing them to focus on high-value projects. The solution from Microsoft also provided robust security features to protect sensitive data and helped FICO attract and retain top talent by offering modern, effective tools, positioning the company for future growth.
