Saj Usman, EY Americas Advisory Data and Analytics Leader, says:

"Our clients want to become more data-driven and often ask for the best way to leverage all their data, how to make sense of it, and what capabilities they need to transform their company and drive consistent, sustained value by becoming a more data-driven business. With the Society Consulting team as part of EY, we can enhance clients' digital experiences by harnessing world class technology delivery, data science and data architecture capabilities."

Chad Richeson, formerly CEO of Society Consulting, says:
