We truly hope and desire that this fascinating read will add some extra value to the lives of our global readers and encourage the budding leaders out there to break the barriers and chase their dreams.
COMPANY PREFACE
With a detailed introduction of the company, the founder says, “4See technologies is a new age company that focuses on data services. We come with over 20 years of experience in the technology space. Having operated in both India and Middle East markets, we understand the expectations and how technology can shape businesses. We are passionate about data and new age technologies like AI and ML.
We go forward with a sharp purpose to make a difference. Additionally, we understand that our customers want to leverage their data and have certain expectations. Most of the time, it is not easy to develop a good data strategy and get it implemented across the organization. We pride ourselves on being able to manage the journey for our clients from analyzing the business landscape to delivering the best solution that meets the 360-degree business needs.”
Our curious minds asked the leader the inner motivation that drove him to dive into the sea of entrepreneurship to which he claimed, “Being an entrepreneur was never planned. The thought of building an organization from scratch was the last thing on my mind during my corporate days. The motivation comes from the fact that there are opportunities that can be explored with the help of the latest technology, which might not have been possible to work in a perfect environment.
A need for creative freedom to think outside the box and not limit yourself to a specific model was what drove me to this journey. While working on various projects in the ERP, CRM, and reporting topics with clients from various industries across different regions, it became clear that what was really happening was process streamlining and the data collection was an unintended outcome of the same. The data was mostly kept for operational reporting from a historical perspective.
Although the leadership is eager to know how the business is doing, they always only get half the story. A combination of past experiences and targeted reporting only results in a one-dimensional business story. The real power of data has not been harnessed to the required extent. With the advent of cloud and increased computing power at your disposal, it was the perfect time to complete the story by focusing not only on the past, but also on the future using new age technology such as AI and ML.”
THE EDGE ABOVE OTHERS
“Being in the data services industry, things keep changing very often because there is no shoe that fits all. We need to be aware of the new developments in both technology and industry. Cloud computing has revolutionized the way data is viewed. The ever-growing cloud stack with necessary tools emerging makes life easier and complicated at the same time.
The industry used to be driven by a limited number of data sources and relational databases with many code-based transformations that required many man-hours of effort to arrive at a meaningful output. However, with many individual components in use, the scalability of a solution has greatly improved. Cloud has been a major game changer in this space and will redefine the future,” says the CEO.
He further adds,
“Talking about the cutthroat competition in the market, I think data service is a hot topic and of course there are several players in the arena. We are facing tough competition not only from local players but also international players as we expand into global markets such as the Middle East, Europe and America Many players are in the data analytics side of the service and focus heavily on the final output in the form of rich visualizations through tools such as Microsoft Power BI, Tableau and using QlikView.
We differentiate ourselves in the way we engage our customers by defining a well-structured data strategy and ensuring that the implementation is done in accordance with it. Our journey does not end with reporting. We drive businesses forward using data mining and machine learning-based insights and real-world action using automation. Our customers see and feel value.”
THE FUTURE PROSPECTUS
Before signing off, the founder shared his exclusive master plan for the coming years, saying, “The future holds many uncertainties, as seen in the recent past which has sent shockwaves worldwide. Like Covid-19, the war in Ukraine and every looming shadow of global recession are a few. Mankind and nature have always shown the resilience to rise above such adversity. Being informed and aware of your surroundings helps you cope during difficult times. Businesses where leaders make decisions based on factual data outside of traditional sources stand a better chance of not only surviving, but thriving.”
