Commenting on the deployment, Hugh Cox, Chief Data Officer of Rosslyn, said:

"It has been a pleasure working with Tim and his team at Octopus Investments.  They have a clear vision that I believe makes them stand out in the industry as one of the most progressive organisations, because they understand the value of implementing innovative technologies that make consuming data for employees as easy as using an iPad."

Commenting on the deployment, Tim Valmas, IT Director at Octopus Investments said:

"The best performing organisations are those that are able to exploit the value of data, enabling them to better service customer requirements.

"Rosslyn Analytics has given us a powerful analytics platform that provides a single point-of-service to support the entire business, from centralising and improving data quality in real-time to quickly developing and testing new analytical apps for the business.

"Rosslyn Analytics' RAPid platform has accelerated my team's ability to support the business because we no longer have to manage tactical tasks such as running databases as it's all delivered as a service in the platform. This has saved our Business Analytics team a great deal of time, allowing them to focus on more strategic value-added projects aligned to customer satisfaction".
