The Mission
Professional services firms have always been data-driven, as their crucial commodity is information. Yet the sheer abundance of data across vast organizations poses challenges, often resulting in limited use and sharing, followed by re-creation of information. This firm created a data fabric connecting business professionals and next-gen services with a wealth of information across their global network while enforcing high security and trust.

Within weeks, the team delivered MVPs and small solutions to business stakeholders. Working in hybrid mode, a significant part of the implementation work was covered by internal resources, on- and off-shore. At the same time, CID provided essential thought leadership, technology advice, and additional implementation power.
