About Us
The birth of a new way of delivering Data & Analytic driven Insight in businesses
Laser focus on helping businesses achieve sustainable value creation
About the insightfactory.ai
insightfactory.ai has been formed by a collection of like-minded data & analytics professionals. We are all passionate about the industry and we see the immense opportunities that Data, Analytics & emerging advanced technologies could provide to businesses of all sizes.
After working with different organisations and delivering hundreds of initiatives across many different service lines, industries, and across a vast array of different technologies, we saw common themes of challenges, failures and shortcomings that plagued sustainable value & impact creation.
We also saw costly, risky and low impact approaches being taken by businesses to start, grow and scale their programs. All too often starting a program means... Doing a maturity assessment, writing a strategy, hiring a team, selecting, designing & deploying your technology platform, building your methodology, managing execution and so on before a single initiative is delivered... This can often be a multi-million dollar journey just to get started.
At insightfactory.ai we have taken our years of practical experience & deep technical knowledge to build a solution that we believe makes data, analytics and advanced technologies accessible to all businesses from start-ups to companies with Billion dollar annual turn-overs.
