Already available in the US, Equifax Ignite offers analytics hosted in the cloud to help companies understand and take advantage of data to innovate and inform their business decisions and strategy. 

It is composed of three delivery methods that companies can tailor to their analytical and business needs: Ignite Direct – for businesses looking to extend data and analytical tools available to their in-house analytics teams; Ignite Models and Scores – uses the expertise of Equifax analysts, data scientists and consultants alongside the Ignite capabilities; and Ignite Apps –  which transform a range of data sources into simple visualisations.

John Power, chief data & analytics officer for Europe at Equifax, said: "Equifax Ignite will redefine businesses’ access to data and reduce the time it takes to build, test and deploy models. The cloud-based environment provides our customers with a flexible and scalable platform where they can easily access and intuitively manage and test multiple data sources."
