Background and Strategic fit

The global marketing research department, based in New York City, wanted to improve customer experience and make operations more efficient by creating a custom cloud-based web application.

This project aimed to address these business objectives

  • With high-value advertising contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the company needed a modern, customer-friendly digital platform.
  • By providing real-time and historical data on advertisement performance, the company aimed to give its clients detailed insights into their advertising investments. This included helping them understand the return on investment (ROI) across different factors.
  • Additionally, with tools for predicting future trends and performance, the company wanted to help clients make strategic decisions that aligned with their changing business needs.
  • The team responsible for managing the client’s advertising budgets and strategies was still using manual processes with basic Excel spreadsheets. There was no use of real-time data-driven methods, leading to redundancies, inefficiencies and mistakes.

To address these challenges, the company decided to develop an intelligent and robust bespoke solution.

Challenges

01
Data Engineering & Predictive Analytics
  • Understanding and developing a custom data model to ensure accurate predictive analytics for informed decision-making
  • Cleaning large amounts of data from different sources within the organization required sophisticated algorithms.
  • Ensuring data privacy and security while extracting valuable insights.
  • Accurately interpreting predictive models and integrating their results into existing business processes.
02
User Experience
  • The customer and its clients are top global brands used to the best digital products and experiencesTherefore, the application needed to offer a sophisticated and seamless user experience, matching the high standards of leading digital products in their industries. An excellent UX wasn’t just a preference; it was a fundamental expectation.
  • The application had to integrate smoothly with existing workflows and systems, minimizing disruptions while maximizing productivity.
03
Security and Data Privacy
  • In enterprise software development, security remains the top priority.
  • The complexity of the proposed application brought several security challenges that required careful attention and proactive solutions. From protecting sensitive data against cyber threats to complying with strict regulations and standards, the application had to be fortified against potential risks and breaches.
  • Due to its interconnected nature, the proposed application introduced additional security complexities.
  • Because the application was interconnected with various systems, third-party APIs, and cloud services, this increased the number of potential entry points for cyber threats. As a result, it was essential to implement strong authentication methods, secure communication protocols, and access controls to reduce the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.
