Robin Way (Corios’ founder and President) is that rarest of breeds: an accomplished data guru who can translate complex technical concepts into terms that every business person can understand and appreciate. His leadership in bridging the historical divide between our IT and Marketing functions has been integral to helping our company achieve its vision of a data-focused, insight-driven organization.

I have known Robin Way (Corios’ founder and President) for over a dozen years and consider him one of the most insightful analytics practitioners I have ever met. I always consult with Robin when we are doing something outside our experience set. Recently Robin and team helped us transform our modeling approach to leverage very low latency transactional data.

Robin Way (Corios’ founder and President) is an expert in field of analytics and he draws on his vast consulting experience to curate salient points using real-world examples. Robin starts by helping (you) assess (your) organization’s analytical maturity and provides practical insights for enhancing the organizations analytical capabilities, and aligning business and analytics priorities.

He then offers a step-by-step approach to effective predictive modeling and its application in business. And finally, a playbook for leveraging “big data” including customer interactions and transactions, and optimization analytics.

Unlike other analytics projects, where it typically takes 8-12 months or more to see results, Corios rapidly designed and built a secure, privacy-compliant analytics environment in just a few weeks. We were extremely pleased with Corios’ turn-around time and professionalism. The main proof point I go back to is how it accelerated the alignment of the data work to overall corporate strategy.

In contrast to other initiatives, where we had become accustomed to waiting six months and seeing very little of value emerge from it, Corios rapidly produced a very compelling pilot solution for our purchased coverage portfolio management analytics initiative in about 2 weeks.

We were stunned at how rapidly we could see useful results. It was hard to find anything to critique out of Corios’ analytics solution, and it enabled us to quickly confirm that Corios and AWS should be on our roadmap for future development of warranty analytics solutions.

I want to take a moment to thank you for all of your assistance developing the Analytics Deployment capabilities at my prior employer.  In a few short years, we were able to dramatically change the timeframe and effort required to deploy our Predictive Models.

I think back to the 9 to 15-month lifecycle that it once took to develop and deploy our models and am so pleased with our current capability of deploying our SAS models directly into production without the lengthy technology conversion.

Your expertise and decisive direction were instrumental in breaking down the barriers and leading our large organization through this change. I so appreciate working with a brilliant team that also has the integrity to deliver on its promises.  I see that your team is growing and it does not surprise me. It is often a challenge to find consultants to partner with that deliver as specified and are a pleasure to work with.

Robin Way and his team at Corios are highly knowledgeable in their ability to marry strategic application and technical configuration of analytics tools to meet the needs of our program and business.  His team works with our teams to cover broader, big-picture strategy topics.

This business operating model during our engagement with Corios has been effective for my team (with the expectation that the teams Corios is supporting are equally as responsive and collaborative). Additionally, Robin is a great partner and open to feedback on deliverables and interactions and flexible when we need to pivot to adjust or refine projects.

We brought in Robin Way of Corios to help us identify our business and technical requirements, develop a business strategy where we could optimize our clients’ business performance using forward-looking data-driven strategies, design an implementation approach that we could phase in over time, and give us the confidence to proceed with these cloud-based analytics.

We’d recommend Corios to anyone looking to have an implementable strategy on AWS that relies on having actionable, business optimizing analytics and big data.
