Gurvinder Singh, CEO, Indus Valley Partners
I want to begin this newsletter by thanking all of 250+ clients for making Mindmeld 2019 the largest and most attended Mindmeld to date. It was eye-opening to see so many of you engage in dynamic discussions around industry panels and product track sessions. We have a number of very exciting changes coming up this year and encourage everyone to read our recap of the event included in this quarterly newsletter.
Our vision remains focused on helping clients generate alpha through insights and the continued elimination of all types of non-investment risk through our various solutions and services. Our global team of 500+ specialists are focused on executing this mission across each of our clients’ respective operating models.
In the near term our key areas of focus remain
- Reducing boarding costs for our solutions via fixed-fee and fixed-scope implementations
- Ramp up investments in our “digital-first” managed services offerings, and
- Expanding our cloud rollout to make all sixteen products natively available as a SaaS offering
Long term we continue to invest in expanding our data management vision to encompass an ever expanding list of data sets (numeric and non numeric) leveraging elastic cloud/compute and cognitive capabilities via our enhancements in the EDM platform.
If you exchange data sets with different service providers, struggle with data governance, cataloging and lineage issues then come talk to us.
Finally, we are thankful and fortunate to have the ongoing trust and support of all of our clients and look forward to a long term partnership with our clients.
