Business Objective
Our client is a mid-market Private Equity firm that invests in growth-oriented, innovative companies operating in the Business Services and Consumer Sectors. The client wanted to build a Prospect 360 platform customized as per their focus areas and investment philosophy over cloud.
They wanted to
- Identify gaps in the current data and build data acquisition strategy including paid data products, data extraction frameworks from documents and public sites
- Design and build data infrastructure on the cloud with end-to-end data management, automated data ingestion, storage, transformation, quality checks, and governance
Challenges
- Very limited data available to make a good assessment in the early stages of evaluation
- Disjointed systems, data spread across multiple excel, PDF files, etc. Extremely difficult to retrieve data/analysis from prior deals
- Manual data extraction from company documents and spreadsheet-based models/reports, resulting in longer analysis time, and loss of information
