CFI GroupSelects STRATMOR As Exclusive Partner

The STRATMOR Group announced that it has been chosen as the exclusive mortgage industry partner by CFI Group, a customer satisfaction measurement and analytics firm. Together, the two firms have developed the Mortgage Customer Satisfaction Index (MCSI), an adaptation of the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI), founded at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business. MCSI is the first uniform measure of borrower experience in use in the mortgage industry. “The experts at CFI Group have an excellent grasp of the true drivers of customer satisfaction across a range of industries,” said Garth Graham, managing director for STRATMOR Group. “Our deep domain expertise in the mortgage industry made us the perfect partner to help them adapt their work for the home finance industry. We’re very proud to be CFI’s exclusive partner in this industry.” Earlier this year, CFI earned a U.S. patent for adding new analytic capabilities to the statistical modeling engine used by the ACSI, enhancing the mathematics to reflect the latest in statistical techniques. The original ACSI modeling engine was developed at CFI Group in cooperation with the University of Michigan. “Benchmarking performance and gathering customer feedback through reliable analytics is crucial to the success of any company,” said Sheri Petras, CEO of CFI Group. “STRATMOR Group was the right choice to help us adapt our index for this industry. With the release of the firm’s MortgageSAT tool, we’re seeing the industry begin to benefit from our joint work.”
