Prosper Partners with Hong Kong's Fung BI Centre

Business intelligence solutions firm Prosper Insights & Analytics has formed a strategic alliance with Hong Kong-based Fung Business Intelligence Centre (FBIC), to provide insights and analysis on retail and technology trends among US and Chinese consumers.

FBIC is the research arm of Hong-Kong based multinational trading, distribution and speciality retailing conglomerate Fung Group. The division collects and analyzes market data on sourcing, supply chains, distribution and retail and provides thought leadership on technology and other trends. Prosper offers big data analytics services integrating economic, behavioral and attitudinal data, via its cloud-based InsightCenter. The deal gives FBIC experts access to Prosper's consumer and market information as well as predictive analytics and software applications, for use in articles, reports and other publications.

Phil Rist, EVP of Prosper comments: 'In these challenging economic times, the combination of Prosper's unique datasets and Fung's expertise in analyzing data can provide great value to businesses trying to navigate turbulent markets in both the US and the PRC'.

Last autumn Prosper partnered with Forbes Insights - the research practice of publisher Forbes Media - to launch a subscriber data platform, the Forbes Executive InsightCenter.
