Challenge	Freddie Mac, a company chartered by Congress in 1970 to support the U.S. housing finance system, has been facing challenges in achieving meaningful predictions and key insights to inform business decisions. The company works with hundreds of thousands of customers and mines nearly four terabytes of data. However, they found that business intelligence and manual practices didn't scale effectively across this vast customer base and data volume. As market and economic conditions change, Freddie Mac must remain flexible and continuously deliver on its commitment to affordable, adequate housing. In a sea of unstructured and semistructured data, it’s challenging to achieve meaningful predictions and key insights to inform business decisions. Read More

Solution	To overcome these challenges, Freddie Mac turned to the DataRobot AI Platform to automate predictive analytics from data input through managing models in production. The analytics team creates models that span across the organization, bringing value to internal teams, lenders, and their end customers. AI helps the business make sense of the data. The platform extracts data elements from various text documents and images much more quickly and accurately than with the previous manual approach. The agency modernized its AI and ML infrastructure, shrinking the MLDev and deployment cycle to deliver meaningful value to the business rapidly. The DataRobot AI platform offers essential interpretability and explainability for stakeholders and compliance teams. Read More Log in to view content
