We live in an era of data explosion, where opportunities lie trapped in a tsunami of unstructured and ever-expanding information. But Opera has found that, by taming and structuring the full range of data, we can uncover more insights and drive to greater results. Our “Total Data, Total Insights, Total Profits” approach, captured through applying The Opera Curve, requires a melding of core capabilities in consulting, data management, data analysis, and advanced analytics.

For instance, we have created Insight Cube technology: flexible, user-driven tools that allow our consultants to rapidly structure and insightfully parse huge datasets. We have also developed highly advanced analytics – new ways to peer deep into huge data reserves and find hidden relationships and patterns (our recent performance in the global Netflix Prize competition illustrates the world-class capabilities of our analytics team).

Because we have developed technology specifically focused on extracting value from very large datasets, we can deliver tangible, significant results within very compressed time frames. We typically structure even the most complex and disaggregated data reserves in a matter of weeks. For many projects, we deliver measurable profit improvement starting within 3-4 months. Because we offer end-to-end execution with “hard” results, we are comfortable with risk-sharing compensation and other flexible engagement models.

We use a global network of consulting talent deployed under a "one-firm" staffing model. Hailing from over 30 countries and dozens of disciplines, our consultants bring a global perspective as well as real-world skills in change management, process reengineering, negotiation, and the integration of sophisticated analytics into a real-world operating environment. They are pragmatic and worldly as well as strategic, and they keep moving forward until tangible value is captured.

Unlimited data hold unlimited possibilities – but only when machine intelligence and human intelligence combine to capture its opportunities.
