Big Data & Analytics is one of the key aspects of digital transformation that provides organizations with the right customer insights leading to incremental revenue sources through cross sell and upsell, while helping them identify revenue leakages and fraud, thereby, driving profitability. Through a comprehensive set of big data services and solutions, from big data consulting to support and managed services, we help generate actionable insights from vast amounts of data. These recent wins are a testimony that analytics driven digital transformation initiatives are an important business imperative for our customers.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solution for Product Price Linking to enable effective maintenance, updates and review of prices across multiple channels for a US-based Large Home Improvement Retailer.
• Building a data lake for a US-based financial services firm using Hadoop technology to enable a centralized data repository system which captures downstream data from various sources to establish a 'single source of truth'.

In addition to analytics, Happiest Minds also has a keen focus on IoT as one of the disruptive technologies that would change the way people live, work and communicate. The IoT Center of Excellence has a sharp focus on industrial IoT, smart homes, renewable energy, transportation and logistics. The objective of the CoE has been to enable clients in these verticals to create a smart, secure and connected IoT experience.

These recent wins validate the work that has been done by the IoT center of excellence:
