Welcome to the New Information Data Age

There’s been an explosive growth in the amount of data generated by companies, organizations, municipalities, and people. This year the digital universe will grow to almost 1.2 zettabytes or 1.3 trillion gigabytes.

We’re sure that you heard how you can take that data, do some reporting and simple analytics, and transform it into meaningful information to make better business decisions. There’s just one problem. Working with the amount of data that is available is not easy and growing more complex by the day as the data continues to pour in with no end in sight.

There’s data from transactional systems that run your enterprise, from manufacturing operations, POS Systems, ERP, Clinical Operations systems, loyalty programs, and the like. How do you cut through all that “data noise” and turn it into valuable information?

Our Mission: Cutting Through the “Data Noise” to Help You Derive Value

We believe that the traditional choices for storing, managing, and analyzing data are no longer working. Whether you are working with a million dollar business intelligence and data warehousing solution or struggling with 2 million rows of data in an Excel spreadsheet, you are running into the same problems:

  • How to get, store, clean, and generate useful information from all that data.
  • How to distribute the information across your organization in a form that is useful.

Our mission is to help you address those problems. Every analytic application we develop is designed to cut through the data noise and transform it into information. Our Analytic Framework allows us to build these applications quickly, in weeks rather than months or years, solves the complex problems associated with big scale data and analysis, and delivers an analytic toolset designed for business users but powerful enough for statisticians and senior analysts. Our methodology ensures that your business processes, requirements, knowledge, and insight, are reflected in the developed and deployed application. And we deliver high performance on commodity hardware—whether you are taking advantage of our hosted environment or have opted for a non-hosted one, development and deployment costs will be a fraction of more traditional solutions.

The PatternBuilders’ difference: Why us instead of them?

Our experience runs broad and deep, particularly in the following areas:

  • Strategic and technical analytics consulting
  • Business intelligence and data warehousing implementation and design
  • Predictive analytics and statistics
  • Worldwide enterprise application development and deployment
  • Data center network security and design
  • Hosted/SaaS applications
  • User training
  • B2B infrastructure development
  • EDI integration

While we are very experienced, our value is best expressed in what we can do for you. Specifically: :

  • We are analytic experts. We work with you to understand your business or organizational problem, look at ways in which you can solve it based on the data that you have, and then develop the models to support it. For more than 20 years, we have worked with Fortune 500 companies across multiple industries and delivered analytic solutions that drove better decision making, increased revenue, and lowered costs.
  • The analytic framework we use to develop our applications leverage the latest advances in both software and hardware. This enables us to be faster, better, and cheaper than the alternatives.
  • We develop and support analytics applications that address specific business or industry issues. Our job is to work with you to understand your business problems and requirements and then develop an analytic solution, or customize one of our industry solutions, to solve them.
  • We believe that those closest to the problem should be given the tools to solve it. No rocket scientists, PhDs in statistics, or senior analysts are required to use our solutions, although they certainly can. Our toolset is designed to reflect the processes, terminology, and requirements of your business users. In other words, we don’t ask you to speak our language, we learn to speak yours.

A Final Thought: Data is Indeed the New Intel Inside

Five years ago, in What is Web 2.0, Tim O'Reilly said that "data is the next Intel Inside." But what does that really mean? Well, Hal Varian, Google’s chief economist, put it best:

The ability to take data -- to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it -- that's going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades.

We believe that it’s time to unleash all that data, to understand it, and to use it and we are here to help you do it.
