Predata launches enhanced predictive analytics platform

Monday, April 30, 2018
Opalesque Industry Update - Predata launched an enhanced version of its predictive analytics platform, introducing a new user experience that more effectively presents insights from over 70,000 Predata risk signals in a consolidated dashboard view. With the enhanced design, Predata is now able to provide access to its suite of predictive analytics tools to a larger user audience across its corporate, government and financial institution client base.

"In its simplest terms, Predata provides leading insights on geo-political, economic and business risks before they happen. Our platform has worked exceptionally well for analysts who are deeply focused on alternative data sets. With this new interface, our machine learning and predictive analytics are accessible to a larger audience within our client institutions, such as managers and business leaders, who have a broad mandate, but lack the time to conduct deep analysis," said Hazem Dawani, CEO of Predata.

In addition to the new dashboard interface, the Predata platform provides:

  • Analytics - Country, industry and topic risk- assessment signals
  • Alerts and advanced warning - Push alerts based on user-defined thresholds
  • Unique proprietary data - Curated data for over 25,000 events from 2010 to present
  • Research and expert guidance - Access to exclusive research and analyst support
  • Custom tools - User-created signals and models trained on public or client-provided data

"Getting the risk information you need, when you need it, is the key. While Predata provides a breadth of complex analytical tools, our ultimate goal is to equip our clients with a user experience that allows them to quickly discover insights and helps inform their decision-making process. The new dashboard presents a significant evolution in this effort, making it easier to monitor and discover potential risk through a more holistic view of our signals." said Josh Haecker, VP of Product and Analysis at Predata.

Predata's customers span the government, commercial and financial sectors. Whether it's instability abroad or a policy move by a central bank, knowing the potential for risk can positively influence a spectrum of decisions-from employee safety to overseas capital spending to asset management and investment decisions. Predata clients have used the platform to help accurately capture and anticipate sanctions against Russia, flare-ups in tensions between China and Taiwan, major currency fluctuations such as the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, and more.
