Verdant Data: How AI & data-driven decisions are giving top companies the competitive edge

The evolution of AI presents a pivotal moment for data processing and business optimisation. Companies that seize this opportunity and integrate the technology are well-positioned to gain a competitive advantage through smarter, more efficient operations.

Verdant Data’s viewpoint is that most businesses are sitting on untapped potential. While they may have systems in place to collect operational data, few are truly analyzing and utilising it to drive measurable improvement.

The cost of underutilised data

In the last two years, more data has been created than in the entire history of humankind. Within businesses, this data sits buried in systems, often untapped or underused. The team at Verdant Data have seen firsthand how overwhelming this scale of information can be, and how few organizations truly harness it effectively.

As the pace of change accelerates, companies not embracing AI for efficiency and cost savings risk falling further behind. Verdant Data sets out to change that by helping companies unlock value from their data, and solve complex, meaningful problems through process intelligence and automation.

For one of Verdant Data’s private banking clients in Switzerland, the goal was to improving data validation and verification steps in transaction processing operations, to reduce costs, and improve customer service levels.

By implementing Verdant Data’s process improvements the bank saw a 30% reduction in transaction errors and a significant improvement in compliance with regulatory standards.

By using AI tools, advanced process intelligence and analytics, Verdant Data is enabling major enterprises to turn their underutilised data into customised, actionable strategies for efficiency and growth.

Operational inefficiency transcends borders and business models

Verdant Data has garnered clients from over 20 EMEA (Europe, Middle East and African) countries, reaching organisations in financial services, wealth management, banking, insurance, manufacturing, retail, and healthcare.  

Led by entrepreneurial duo Andrew Johnston, a former Deloitte consultant and Ryan Beangstrom a former EY consultant, they are based between South Africa and Switzerland. 

Companies across sectors fail to fully capitalise on their data. Data is only as valuable as the insights it provides, yet complicated and outdated systems often prevent companies from achieving their business objectives. 

By breaking complex operations into targeted deliverables, Verdant Data helps decision-makers see where resources are being wasted and where immediate gains can be made.

Verdant Data sets out to deeply understand and prioritize our client’s needs. Our focus is on delivering measurable value, forging long-term partnerships, and driving lasting impact across your organisation.

  • Cost-effective PoCs to validate change
