Client Value Creation

It’s the insight that gives our clients the basis for action and the edge for staying ahead of the competition. And Aaum provides insight through its deep knowledge of analytics and the business domain. Too often our clients tell us that they are challenged to see through the fog of data to extract insights that would allow them to act strategically.

That’s where we step in and help.

We use regression, cluster analysis, forecasting techniques, support vector machines, neural networks, etc – that’s a sample of technical jargon, but it helps. These techniques and their associated algorithms sift through volumes of information at lightning speed to unravel key associations and identify critical trends for our clients.

The value that we bring to clients is based not only on our knowledge of advanced analytics, but also about the industries we serve. We work with clients in industries ranging from retail and pharmaceutical to insurance and finance. We are partners with our clients as we work through challenges in customer acquisition and retention, meeting the needs of high prescribing physicians or assessing the risk in a portfolio. In all these engagements our goal is to build long-term relationships based on demonstrable value and a foundation of trust

At aaum Innovation is a key cornerstone of our corporate strategy. As much as our clients continuously innovate in their respective industries, Aaum too is in a continuous state of learning about analytics and about the various industries it serves. From these learning we develop new insights that will continue to keep our clients as the leaders in their marketplaces.
