4. Discussion and Conclusion
➢ The business landscape is becoming increasingly interconnected and
information surrounding it is growing at an exponential pace. While
this complexity opens up ends possibilities, how do we converge and
make sense of this vast amount of data? Every Industry has their own
unique challenges and systems which are manpower intensive. This
often leads to inaccurate data and analysis that could lead to flawed
conclusions. From time to productivity loss to wrong decision making,
we saw the need for a combination of quality official data coupled with
adaptive technologies. Corporate intelligence has to evolve and at
Handshakes we are the catalyst.
