PwC selects Doorda to enhance data analytics capabilities
Doorda has been selected by PwC to augment data analytics capabilities for private equity, hedge fund, and corporate clients.
Data analytics are at the heart of the PwC business, and the Deals Insights and Analytics team is increasingly incorporating external data sources into its analysis on behalf of its private equity, hedge fund and corporate clients. The team has now selected to incorporate data curated by Doorda to increase productivity, answer new business questions and accelerate time to insight.
Doorda researches, consolidates, links and updates Open Data from hundreds of publishers into a unique, highly organised Cloud Data Platform. By incorporating this highly accurate, joined-up, analytics-ready data from Doorda, the PwC team can focus immediately on the time-sensitive, high-value analytics work that is critical when executing deals.
The PwC team are also looking to capitalise on features unique to the Doorda Data Platform; historical data not kept by data publishers, data specifically harvested by Doorda using Freedom of Information requests, and a comprehensive index of all UK addresses, underpinned by Doorda’s patent-pending technology which identifies buildings as well as addresses.
