Research Platform

The client wanted to automate the process of generating timely and detailed reports for distribution to clients and secure the clients website for subscription management. CCR has multiple clients in this domain.

Before CCR was involved

  • Analysts downloaded and analyzed data which was very labor intensive and time consuming.
  • The client did not have IT infrastructure. Client research and recommendations were limited and delayed.
  • The client did not have a subscription website.

After CCR was involved
