Insights from this Episode
- Our technology is geared towards helping our clients find, analyse, interrogate data buried within both complicated contracts – Richard Belgrave
- It's really about helping people make decisions quicker to adapt as a result of the pandemic – Richard Belgrave
- The data that was unstructured before is now structured. And that as I said before creates efficiencies just in terms of the way we work internally – Kevin Mofid
- So, the more data we have in a structured fashion that will allow us to answer those big questions that are troubling everyone at the moment – Kevin Mofid
- I think for decision making, I think for running your business or staying ahead of the competition, and just doing what's right by your investors, by your senior stakeholders, you need data. You need to be able to access it, you need to be able to trust it. And thematically I think the real estate industry is making a lot of progress – Richard Belgrave
- Data will give you some answers, but are you asking the right questions – Kevin Mofid
- The models that we deploy to process these contracts and turn unstructured content into structured data, they can also be used to help drive really meaningful analysis– Richard Belgrave
