Prevedere is a market leader in predictive analytics using global data. The 2017 launch of its cognitive computing engine Prevedere, which stands for External Real-time Insights, enables business leaders to accurately identify growth opportunities while avoiding risks associated with unplanned events that impact the bottom line.

In 2017, the company also expanded its partnerships with Microsoft and Nielsen, increasing Prevedere’s insights and analytics capabilities across functional groups, such as finance, marketing, supply chain and sales. Organizations can now easily integrate predictive insights within existing enterprise planning processes. With a team of seasoned economists and analysts, Prevedere is a trusted, unbiased ally for executives in many of the top companies in retail, CPG, manufacturing, hospitality and more.
