  • Big data and text analytics — mining large Arabic and English corpora for themes, entities and change over time.
  • Social media analytics and strategy — audience intelligence, content and sentiment analysis, and the strategy that follows from it.
  • Web analytics — measurement design and reporting for public-facing digital services.
  • Financial market analytics — as an authorised MetaStock education partner we deliver training on MetaStock Pro, Xenith and associated add-ons.
  • Visualisation and dashboards — interactive dashboards for executives and boards, built with Klipfolio and SAS Visual Analytics.

Forrester Research cited our work in Arabic natural language processing, big data and text analytics in its November 2015 report The Gulf Cooperative Council’s Big Data Opportunity: How the GCC Can Use Big Data To Be More Competitive.

The Arabic layer

Standard analytics platforms treat Arabic as a character set rather than a language. We extend them: our Social Intelligence Analyzer runs as an add-on to the Pulsar social media monitoring system, adding content and sentiment analysis for Modern Standard Arabic and Kuwaiti dialect. It has been used by the Kuwaiti Parliament and Kuwait TV to analyse public trends, and was published as a Pulsar case study in September 2016.
