Opportunity for investors
The event presents a unique opportunity for investors to get insights from one of the biggest data analytics firms about the upcoming market conditions and the significance of data in business activities.
Data analytics has become the necessity for the business to plan, evaluate and devise strategies accordingly. With the growing demand of the internet, the data firms are providing useful insights about the consumers' behaviour, the ratio of demand and consumption and how firms can improve the supply chain in order to bridge the gap.
Earlier on 1 November, the global data analytics firm had stated that it signed a definitive pact under which the partners of Advent International (a well-known global private equity investor), in an association with the former CEO of TransUnion, James Peck, will buy the Nielsen Global Connect business for $2.7 billion.
Later, on 12 November, Nielsen reported through a press note that it had signed a non-exclusive agreement with Bain & Company to boost the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry’s commercial facilities in the domains of pricing, promotions, collection optimisation and customer planning.
The major challenge for the CPG sector is to use big data in a way that can boost the business prospects and create a sustainable benefit for consumer goods firms and their merchants.
The partnership with Bain & Company is expected to enable the CPG firms to have a better insight from the big data and will prove beneficial for the entire business, Richard Cook, the chief operating officer, Intelligent Analytics Unit at Nielsen Global Connect had said.
Echoing the same, Laure Maddens, a partner in Bain & Company’s Consumer Products practice, had said Nielsen’s data tools would help the consumer good clients to register more profit and build a long term partnership with retailers to achieve the best possible results.
