Fractal’s two-decade journey has always been about solving real-life problems at scale. This approach has allowed us to work with the world’s favorite Fortune500 brands and receive several recognitions, the recent one being named a leader in the Peak Matrix 2021 Assessment by the Everest group.
The assessment places Fractal as a leader in both categories of evaluation; Market Impact and Vision & Capability. The four of the other seven sub-criteria Fractal scores high on include:
- 1. Market adoption – Number of clients, revenue base, YoY growth, and deal value/volume,
- 2. Portfolio mix – Diversity of client/revenue base across geographies and type of engagements
- 3. Vision and strategy – For the client and itself; future roadmap and strategy,
- 4. Innovation and investments – In technology IP, industry/domain knowledge, innovative commercial constructs, alliances, M&A, etc
While enterprises are quick to adopt outcomes-based AI initiatives, data-related hurdles, shortage of analytics and AI talent, and lack of organizational readiness to adopt new technologies make it challenging to reap the benefits of these efforts.
This is how the right AI analytics provider can augment your business
- Proactive investments in data engineering capabilities = Smooth adoption and scaling of AI initiatives;
- Expertise in domain/industry-specific requirements = AI initiatives aligned to enterprise vision;
- Acquiring and upskilling advanced analytics & AI talent = Fresh ideas and the ability to deliver future-proof strategies.
