| Why is this startup hot? |
Analytics is a super hot space in itself. This is easy to see, in 1990's most firms heavily invested in ERPs. Early 2000, most firms were almost there. They at least started having a well organized mechanism of collating transaction data.

Analytics is a super hot space in itself. This is easy to see, in 1990's most firms heavily invested in ERPs. Early 2000, most firms were almost there. They at least started having a well organized mechanism of collating transaction data.
Pretty soon, industries started seeing unbelievable amounts of data being collated on product, inventory, supply chain, customer buying behavior, sales, marketing etc. Though organizations were putting Reporting systems in place to get view of data, its not till recently companies have started understanding the power of analyzing this data beyond reports.
Today and in the coming days, all organizations in all industry segments will be looking at how best can I harvest my data, compare with industry benchmarks, to give me a much deeper understanding of all aspects of my business.
Organizations today want to study their data in-depth to gain that insight required to stay ahead of competition. This is the age of leveraging power of analytics.
What makes activecubes hot, besides being in analytics are 2 key aspects :-
1. The key differentiator : often analytics firms worldwide are focused on just the modeling of data and not quite able to put a complete solution together. Activecubes' focus is to understand a customer need and design a complete solution from the data warehouse, to the modeling to consulting.
2. The team: Our leadership team has exceptional breadth of its experience. We believe a great team is an essential foundation to a successful venture.
