Derived from the term large data in English, "Big Data" is now a synonym for dealing with gigantic, complex, rapidly changing amounts of data. For companies, everything that is summarized under the keyword Big Data promises quick knowledge gain and thus tangible competitive advantages. Increasingly powerful computers and corresponding algorithms now make it possible to collect, store, systematize and statistically evaluate huge amounts of data. An example of the evaluation of a multitude of available data are the ratings of analysts.
Based on a comprehensive, systematic analysis of large amounts of data, listed companies are evaluated, from which buy or sell recommendations for the corresponding shares and securities are derived. Both internal company data, such as the structure of the company, assets, investment income, liquidity, etc., and external surveys, such as the behavior of other market participants or changes in the legal framework, are used for this purpose.
As already noted, however, the large amounts of data available alone are no guarantee for generating reliable information. Rather, the quality of the statements and forecasts made will always depend on whether the data has been collected statistically cleanly and systematic errors have thus been avoided, whether the data used has been wisely selected and adjusted or reduced in accordance with the question at hand, and whether the results have been correctly evaluated and interpreted become.
By systematically analyzing existing databases using statistical methods, CASHFiNDER is able to uncover hidden connections and patterns and thus quickly identify potential for cost optimization. These assumptions are checked in phase 2 by the presence of the project manager on site and formed into a statement.
