Customer Quote

KPI has been working with our Data Analytics team for the past four years in the development, administration, and architecture of our Oracle Analytics Cloud and Incorta products KPI's knowledge and attention to detail have aided in keeping our analytics team on track during the recent recession and through a major restructure.  KPI's quality of work is outstanding. 

 

On more than one occasion KPI has delivered solutions to complex obstacles that even our vendors have been unable to resolve.  We can always trust that KPI will not only implement but augment best practices as their knowledge, not only of the product but of the underlying technologies as well, continues to evolve.

 

Leveraging KPI's offshore team has enabled a near 24-hour delivery cycle for our analytics team, while also providing working hour support for our companies in the eastern hemisphere.
