CGI Group Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB) announces the successful implementation of its debt recovery management solution, CACS Enterprise, its decision management solution, Strata Enterprise, and BureauLink for credit bureau access at Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU).
CGI helped NFCU transition from traditional age-based collections to sophisticated risk-based collections, in order to increase dollars collected, and reduce delinquencies and charge-offs resulting from the tightened credit market. NFCU's new collections approach combines CGI's industry-leading CACS solution with its advanced decision management tool, Strata Enterprise. The combined CACS and Strata solution enables NFCU to prioritize work based on risk level and in turn, maximize the effectiveness of collections treatments and resource utilization.
CGI not only provided NFCU with the tools necessary to stay competitive in today's market, but also provided the business process consulting and change management services to position the organization for future transformation and growth. CGI helped NFCU implement risk-based policies and procedures through the entire collections lifecycle, across the credit union.
"At NFCU, we are taking strategic steps to ensure our collections operations grow and adapt with current market conditions," said Dave Tillery, Senior Vice President of Consumer/Credit Card Lending at NFCU. "CGI's expertise in the credit industry combined with their technology solutions made them the right partner to help us achieve our strategic goals."
"In today's tough credit environment, it is imperative that a bank's business processes are as efficient as possible, and that credit policy and risk management strategies are positioned for maximum effectiveness," said Peter Ihrig, Senior Vice-President, CGI. "We worked with NFCU to help them transform their collections approach, enabling them to increase collections while utilizing resources more efficiently, positioning NFCU for success in an evolving marketplace."
For over 30 years, CGI has provided IT and business process services to financial institutions around the world including 24 of the top 25 banks in the Americas and 17 of the top 25 European banks.
