To help organisations understand the financial impact of adopting Experian Ascend Platform™, Experian commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ study.
The study is based on in-depth interviews with decision-makers across the US, UK, Brazil, and South Africa who have experience using the Experian Ascend Platform.
The insights were consolidated into a composite lending institution, representing a business processing 250,000 loan applications, amounting to $312.5 million in loan originations annually.
The study provides a clear framework for evaluating potential return on investment (ROI), cost savings, and business growth enabled by the platform.
