You may know Experian as a credit reporting agency. While it’s definitely that, like any modern company, it is broadening its focus in response to expanding customer demands. Today, Experian also helps business customers prevent fraud, offer on-the-spot credit to consumers, and make data-driven marketing decisions. In 2015, Barry Libenson came on as CIO. His job: Help the company make the leap from a legacy enterprise IT infrastructure, built over decades—to a more integrated, agile IT, ready to take on the digital world. We spoke with him about how he’s meeting that challenge, and what the future looks like for Experian. How has IT changed, from your perspective? Experian used to be more of a pure information company. I would say that we’ve become much more of a technology company. Gone are the days where our responsibility was to keep the lights on and keep financial systems operating. IT has.
