This is a costly affair and hence smaller companies are shy of the investments that they need to make, say in software like SAP or SAS. Further, undertaking data intelligence and data analytics project is very risky due to the costs involved as well as the kind of resources that needs to be deployed and developed. Most of the analytics project in the market are exploratory or research-oriented that only big companies can afford. At JDSOFT, since we have enormous capabilities acquired over a decade of doing what we do, we have patented templates and methodologies that help us in delivering the projects with clinical precession. We are mathematicians who understand business and our passion for solving problems drives our business model.

This benefits may accrue with a reduction in cost, an increase in revenue or optimization of time taken off the processes, etc. This model has worked well for our smaller clients.
