CGI's IP-EMBEDDED DECISION ENGINE STRATA ENTERPRISE EARNS ARUM APPROVED SYSTEM CERTIFICATION

CGI Inc.'s induced-polarization-embedded strata enterprise solution has been awarded Arum approved system certification following an independent review by Arum Global, one of the United Kingdom's leading independent advisory firms in collections and revenue management.

CGI's strata enterprise powers decision strategy design and execution across loan origination, credit and fraud decisioning, as well as collections and debt recovery. These capabilities are delivered through CGI credit studio, a leading cloud-native credit life cycle platform.

"Following completion of the review, I am pleased to confirm that CGI's strata enterprise has exceeded the Arum Global benchmark and has been awarded the Arum approved system certification," said Jaime Lockey, consultant, Arum Global. "Across the review, we were consistently impressed by strata enterprise's flexibility and suitability for complex collections and debt recovery use cases."

"With our strata enterprise solution, clients are driving faster collections and recoveries, making stronger origination and credit decisions, and leveraging predictive intelligence seamlessly across channels," said Kelly DeForest, vice-president, intellectual property, retail lending, CGI. "Arum Global's certification underscores the credibility of CGI's strata enterprise, giving clients added confidence in their ability to manage and continuously improve decisioning with transparency and control."

As a foundational element within CGI's IP portfolio, strata enterprise enables clients to make consistent, data-based decisions at scale by turning business policy, customer data and predictive insights into actionable strategies that teams can monitor and improve upon. In its review, Arum Global identified strengths that help organizations improve speed, control and confidence in decision making, including:

• Governed decisioning that supports predictive models, including AI and statistical models, while keeping decisions transparent and explainable;
• Decision transparency and optimization, including simulation and champion challenger testing, with visibility into what decisions were made and why;
• One engine, any platform deployment flexibility, from mainframe and batch processing to cloud and real-time APIs, helping organizations modernize without forced migrations; and
• Business-led strategy design, enabling non-technical users to create and manage strategies without coding, with technical extensibility when required.

Arum Global also cited operational strengths, including high-speed decisioning, scalability in cloud environments and robust integration options.

Arum Global reviewed CGI's strata enterprise holistically from a capability perspective, with particular emphasis on complex collections and debt recovery use cases. As the decision engine embedded in CGI credit studio, strata enterprise helps organizations apply governed decision strategies across key stages of the consumer credit life cycle.
