Across decades, we have helped clients run their business more efficiently. Having worked with clients that range from Fortune 500 companies to Small and Medium Enterprises, Aspect Ratio takes pride in its ability to define problems, identify objectives and architect solutions that help clients make better informed decisions.
Aspect Ratio works hard to keep a lean operational structure that minimizes overheads and bureaucracy. We recruit at the best B-Schools and Engineering Institutes with rigorous hiring processes. These two factors enable us to deliver a clear focus on tangible results for our clients.
Here are a few reasons as to why Aspect Ratio is enabled to lead an organization towards real digital transformation.
In an industry where it’s common for solution providers to say “We can do that” to all requirements, how does Aspect Ratio earn its trust?
It’s on account of our belief in total transparency.
Whether the source be an organization’s own records or our data mining efforts, ensuring the sanctity of the data is important to us. Every bit of information is acquired through ethical means.
Absolutely. We offer our clients full access to the entire solution — algorithms and code. We remain firmly against the ‘black box’ model of development, with us you will never hear “Sorry, it‘s all proprietary code”.
Not a problem. While our experience and capabilities are at par with the big names, our solutions are developed rapidly, leading to reduced development time and costs.
At its core, Aspect Ratio is a team of analysts that excel at fusing logic with code. This has enabled us to define algorithms years ago that now are considered ‘Artificial Intelligence’.
In an age of volatile market conditions, fast-paced technological advancements, ever-changing customer demands, and increasing competitive pressure, Aspect Ratio empowers organizations to be proactive rather than reactive.
“We selected Aspect Ratio as our partner in commercial forecasting many years ago now and have never looked back. Our partnership continues to grow. I appreciate their no-nonsense way to solve analytical problems."
“I am highly impressed with the calibre of the talent at Aspect Ratio, particularly their core forecasting skills and ability to generate customized quantitative models as well as the very thorough process they utilize to integrate market insights into product forecast projections. Their attention to detail and swift turnaround of commercial assessment forecasts has been truly invaluable to our organization. I would highly recommend the Aspect Ratio team and their forecasting services.”
