Case study: Risk advisory analytics

Risk advisory analytics

We transformed the risk advisory process for an insurance company, replacing traditional ad-hoc analysis with end to end data driven analysis.

Key benefits to the client included enabling risk management functions to perform 100% reviews of business processes vs traditional processes which yielded less than 1% coverage, providing business unit heads with a one-stop report of the key business issues and enabling quicker decision making and more focus on strategic risk management of critical processes.

Case study: Process improvement

Process improvement

We re-designed the process of income and customer analysis for an organisation through automated data analysis and reporting.

Key client benefits included helping the organisation better understand its business health with a clear profile of income streams and customer segments – and providing stakeholders with accurate reporting on their return on investment.

Case study: Business Intelligence

Business intelligence

We developed state-of-the-art business intelligence models for SMEs for monthly financial reporting. The model provided cloud-based interactive dashboards, customised to reflect business needs and operations. The dashboards provided different levels of detail for business leaders and their teams.

Key client benefits included enabling them to have a high-level view or delve into the detail as required – and enhancing the reporting with best-in-class visualisations to report KPIs and respective analysis.

Case study: Forensics analysis

Forensics analysis

We performed an in-depth analysis of various disparate sources of customer data to identify anomalies and report on fraudulent activities for a manufacturing company. We built a machine learning model to understand fraudulent patterns and behaviour, and predict potential instances of fraud in the future.

Key client benefits included providing assurance to the board on the accuracy of the financial information and enabling pre-emptive and proactive fraud management rather than reactive management.
