Working with The Data Lab brings to us, as a leading company in asset management, the leading research in academia that best matches our needs. The close involvement of The Data Lab professionals in the project development process was of enormous value in the success of our application.

Symphonic Software has been working with The Data Lab for a number of months. During that time, The Data Lab has developed an excellent understanding of our strategy, product and points of difference in the market, and have been able to use this knowledge to introduce Symphonic Software to relevant organisations, projects and potential clients with a clearly identified mutual interest. I can point to company growth directly attributable to the relationship we have built with The Data Lab - they are already making an impact in our business, and we will seek to develop a longer term mutually supportive relationship with The Data Lab. It is an excellent focus for market-focused collaborative innovation.

I can’t rate The Data Lab team highly enough. The initial support with business development, academic collaboration and a generous welcome into the data community, have all been first class! The progress made couldn’t have been achieved without their energy and enthusiasm to add value.

You have a knock-out team of engaged professionals, who try their damnedest, and invariably succeed, at finding the best way to turn our academic expertise into high-business value. Good cake is sometimes provided too, which also helps.

The trip was VERY useful to immerse me into the current data science ecosystem. As someone who works at a strategic level, but has a technical computer science background, it’s immediately helped me learn the language of data science and will significantly improve my ability to work on our direction at a strategic level, while understand the nuts of bolts of what’s going on around data in our business.
