Portfolio Advantage
What It Is
Portfolio Advantage is an in-depth portfolio analytics solution that incorporates data mining, machine learning, and financial modeling to provide comprehensive levels of actionable insights for your business.
This service is ideal for companies or teams that need in-depth insights of their portfolio and/or business but do not have the necessary data science or business analytics personnel. This could even work for those organizations that do have an in-house team, but not the bandwidth or domain knowledge to fully execute extensive analyses. Executives turn to this service to yield insights to their portfolio without interrupting their data science teams or as a substitute for a business analytics task force.
