Hot Topics

  • Harnessing the power of big data to drive insights across the organization – CPG manufacturers and retailers are all trying to leverage the power of big data to connect the dots among what is happening in the store, how consumers prioritize purchase decisions, and how to reach them. IRI's technology platform is purpose-built to solve this problem.
  • Finding the right technology platform to meet the needs of executives, category managers and sales – In technology, one size fits one. The ability to personalize the user experience to drive insights to the right audience in the right format is critical to the adoption of any technology solution.
  • Empowering your data science teams – While IRI supports a rich set of advanced analytics, many clients are looking for ways to leverage their own data science without having to resort to massive data extracts.
