Data Reply is the Reply Group company offering a broad range of analytics and data processing services. We operate across different industries and business functions, working directly with executive level professionals, enabling them to achieve meaningful outcomes through effective use of data. We find that one of the biggest problems experienced by our clients today is being overwhelmed with the amount of data that they face and not knowing how to leverage it to their advantage. The vast landscape of available technology stacks and models means that choosing the right ones can be a daunting task. Most companies know that their data is valuable, and that they should be making the most out of it to stay competitive, but often don't know where to begin or what to prioritise. At Data Reply, we pride ourselves on helping clients make the right decisions to build their data strategy. With our consultants' expertise, we map the right technologies to meet our clients' business needs. We deal in bespoke solutions, and offer in house training to ensure that our clients realise the full value of their big data solution. www.data.reply.com
