MINNEAPOLIS, MN, January 22, 2007 -- Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today announced that its Blaze Advisor™ business rules management system has received the Intelligent Enterprise Readers’ Choice Award for Best Business Rules Engine for the second consecutive year.

As a core component of Fair Isaac’s software and solutions for Enterprise Decision Management, the Blaze Advisor system allows business users to design, implement and maintain rules and policies as part of an automated business application, helping organizations reach new levels of agility.

“Intelligent Enterprise readers vote annually for the technologies that best meet their needs for value, reliability and broad applicability in planning, building and integrating strategic business applications,” said David Stodder, editor-in-chief of Intelligent Enterprise. “We congratulate Fair Isaac on taking the top honors in the business rules engine category for the second year in a row. We believe that this achievement indicates that its Blaze Advisor software delivers the best value to the greatest spectrum of users.”
