This way, our clients become able to manage, forecast, map ou, and develop their projects, teams, and customers more effectively.
Products and Services
As an intelligence company, we solve problems by handling (qualitative and quantities) data through data science and artificial intelligence techniques. When the data does not speak for itself, we provide robust theoretical approaches that allow us to design effective and accurate analyzes and solutions. We offer four kinds of products and services. See below:
SITUATION
- The organization already knows the problem but does not have information to resolve it.
POSSIBLE AVENUES of SOLUTION:
- We start from primary data provided to us, and we search for adjacent data;
- We start from an unstructured database supplied to us, and we structure it, organize it, hierarchize it;
- We start from scratch and collect all the data.
SITUATION
- The organization already has a structured database or has already carried out a research or consultancy project with us and wants to present this data to its customers or employees visually, easily, interactive, and understandable.
POSSIBLE KINDS of DATA VISUALIZATION:
- Static data visualization;
- Interactive data visualization;
- Automatic data visualization updates;
- Data visualization storytelling through audiovisual.
SITUATION
- The client has an unidentified problem, it wants to identify and solve it.
SOLUTION:
- Problem identification and formulation
- Mapping the paths to the solution in the face of what the organization offers. The path to solving the problem may involve:
- Data existing and held by the company or
- Existing data and not held by the company or
- Data that we will gather
- Data organization through intelligent visualizations
- Analysis of the views added to the analysis of the problem
- Motion for a resolution that may or may not involve a technology solution.
SITUATION
- The client needs continuous information and data information, or it needs its own analysis tools.
SOLUTION
- We develop exclusive SAS (software as a service) according to the client demands for updating the data. Usually, the SAS provides interactive data visualization and the application of models.
