Decoding Data to Drive Value
10 Jun 2020The GCC is emerging stronger than ever with diversified and efficient economies becoming magnets for investment and new ideas, and hence, influencing a global shift towards the region. Such seismic shifts will drive new market entrants, along with opportunities to invest in new markets. Whilst such shifts create opportunities for the region, they also bring a new set of challenges which center around increased competition, finding new ways of attracting and retaining target audiences, and the need to diversify from traditional business footprints into offering new solutions and products in order to remain relevance in the face of an emerging and fast-paced economy.
The fundamental element to unlock such potential is dependent on the business’ ability to decode valuable data which is often managed by multiple functions in a time consuming and manual manner. Through the implementation of our data governance and visualization services, businesses are able to unlock new growth potential achieved through deep data analysis. Our solutions provide a platform for organisations to assess inefficiencies across the business, whilst identifying areas of possible growth. These solutions are tailored to avoid business data remaining silo, whilst ensuring business information is available in real-time and at the touch of a button.
For more insights into our Data Governance and Visualisation service offerings, reach out to our experts in Grant Thornton, Avik Chandra, the Transformation Advisory Associate Director, George Stoyanov, the Transformation Advisory partner, Samer Hijazi, the Head of Grant Thornton Abu Dhabi, and Mohamed Elewa, the Advisory Services Partner.
