Pulse and Partners to Launch Big Data Centre

Pulse Group's big data unit Pulsate has partnered with technology giants Dell and Intel and statistical software specialist Revolution Analytics, to set up a Big Data Solutions Centre, which will pool big data expertise from the four companies.

The launch of Pulsate was announced last month by Asia Pacific research outsourcing and panels firm Pulse Group. The new centre, based in Cyberjaya, Malaysia, will mine client data for insights, and use this information to predict future patterns and trends, and will offer training for businesses and government organisations in Malaysia. Pulsate will also invest in setting up a Big Data Academy in Kuala Lumpur.

Revolution Analytics CEO David Rich (pictured) comments: 'The global market for big data analytics is growing at a rapid pace and businesses across the Asia region are aggressively tapping into the new insights that big data analytics is generating to drive competitiveness. The collaboration with Pulsate will allow us to work with its approximately 3,000 clients to help build advanced analytics capabilities into their current solutions and bring them into our ecosystem of solution partners.'
