PLATFORMS
Platforms bring our data and
analytics together; they are the
way we deliver value to clients
by making it easier for them to
get important jobs done. Most
of our platforms include a mix
of data, software and hardware.
Data provides the essential
facts and insights; software is
the step-by-step instruction that
tells a computer what to do; and
hardware is the physical platform
that houses the data and software.
Our platforms enable clients
to carry out complex activities
such as compiling, standardising
and retrieving data, managing
the decision-making process,
managing workflows,
communicating with customers
and accessing information that
helps them make informed
decisions about their customers.
