Big Four accounting firm Deloitte is expanding its data analytics group in Australia through a strategic merger with local boutique firm Analytic Insight. The team of eight, comprising senior analytic consultants in Sydney and Melbourne, will join Deloitte’s existing Australian practice of 70.
Giam Swiegers, Deloitte chief executive officer in Australia, said data analytics was considered the ‘last frontier’ in managing information overload and achieving strategic growth.
Partner Anthony Viel, head of the Deloitte data analytics group, said the collection of petabytes of data in response to consumer demand for organisations to become more electronic and convenient, plus the competitive influx of the global economy over the coming years, increasingly required effective and efficient data management, modelling and insight solutions.
‘Our data analytics team assists organisations to fully leverage the huge investment today in enterprise technology and information systems’ he said. ‘Our increasingly sophisticated methodologies can be applied across all industries and issues, whether that be financial crime detection, customer behaviour or supply chain logistics.’
