Total revenue from continuing activities in North
America was US$2,258m, up 8%, with organic
revenue growth of 7%. The difference relates primarily
to the acquisitions of Medical Present Value (acquired
June 2011) and Conversen (acquired May 2012).
Region:
North America
Credit Services
Total revenue growth was 10% and
organic revenue growth was 9%.
Growth reflected successful new
product introductions, the addition of
new sources of data and as we further
diversify and expand in new customer
segments. We delivered good growth
across consumer information driven
by increased origination and portfolio
management activity. There was also
an exceptionally strong contribution
from mortgage, attributable to high
levels of refinancing activity during
the year. We further expanded within
business information, reflecting strong
new customer wins for our flagship
product BusinessIQ. Our strategy to
expand across new customer segments
also contributed meaningfully to
our performance, with double digit
organic revenue growth across each
of the automotive and healthcare
payments sectors.
Decision Analytics
Growth in Decision Analytics was
strong, with both total and organic
revenue growth of 13%. During the year
we significantly expanded our fraud
and identity management operations,
securing several new contract wins
across the public sector and elsewhere.
We also delivered growth in software,
as we introduced new products and as
we start to deploy our new Decision
Analytics PowerCurve software.

“The North America team performed strongly again this year. As
we continue to work hard to serve our clients’ needs, we’ve
seen a growing contribution from our investment initiatives,
particularly in fraud and identity management, healthcare
payments, as well as in business information and automotive.
We’re excited about our new cross-channel marketing
capabilities and we’re laying the foundations for future
expansion of our Consumer Services business.”
