Next major release of CreditFlow, version 5.0, now available

Bologna, Italy, September 30, 2011

The CRIF Credit Framework allows finance and credit institutions to:
•    Adapt to ever changing business, market and regulatory needs
•    Optimize credit processes
•    Control all aspects of credit process and decision implementation and execution.

Significant drivers influencing the CRIF Credit Framework roadmap and, in particular, CreditFlow 5.0 release enhancements, include:
•    Global reach, with CreditFlow having been in the market for 9 years and now close to 20 countries
•    “New Normal” circumstances facing finance and credit institutions worldwide, such as tougher credit market conditions and a more complex regulatory environment, which demand more innovative and agile solutions
•    Customer feedback, which is key to continued improvements in the product.

The main CreditFlow 5.0 enhancements are as follows:
•    Adapt
Front-End flexibility -> edit standard worklists and search lists to display, filters, sort criteria etc.
Easy access, web browser based administration -> Business administration console for  User, Organization, Roles and Codebooks (e.g., lookup codes/descriptions) administration
Improved maintainability -> Hot refresh of configuration information, supporting extended hours - 24x7 operations
Designer tool improvements to design the workflow in a more efficient and effective and user-friendly manner.

•    Optimize

Boost automatic decisions and enable new channels -> Optimized engine for lightweight and faster processing; improved fully automatic processing (A2A) capabilities
Increase Productivity -> New Process Monitor, improved real-time monitoring capability and drill down to see details and execute actions
