But the pile of data which keeps flowing from all channels poses a great challenge to players in this sector.

The ever-rising expectations of today’s tech-savvy customers are compelling the companies to actively embrace new technologies so as to provide world-class services to their customers. Walking on similar mantra is Magma Fincorp, a Kolkata-based non-banking financial company with 10,000 employees and more than 250 branches all over India. Like any other lending and insurance company, Magma too is sailing in huge data ocean wherein it becomes difficult for them to capture important customer information while targeting for a finite pool of customer.

Therefore, Magma was looking for a partner that can help them analyze their data on a regular basis. Magma wanted to use analytics to make use of the data for business growth and informed decision making.

This posed the challenge of data preparation and hence we were looking at a BI platform that could handle this challenge and can be implemented quickly. When we scanned market and discussed with Analysts, we found Qlik to be a competent solution for our scenario. Next challenge was to find the right implementation partner who can develop Business Dashboards quickly and in agile fashion. Team Computers were recommended partner by Qlik for our scenario. We found Team Computers as a trustworthy partner as we went the implementation path. Not only we were able to implement the solution as we envisioned, but Team Computers undertook the challenge of Magma end-toend, right from drafting requirements to implementation to support and change management. Business Intelligence demanded a cultural change at Magma among business community. Team Computers are working with us handin-hand in this journey. With first phase of implementation done successfully, we entrusted Team Computers to establish the dedicated Offshore Delivery Center for Magma from where they can carry out development and support activities. Connected with high bandwidth and equipped with audio-visual facilities, this is working out quite cost effective for Magma.”
