NEW DELHI, 29 September 2020: Qlik has announced that UPL Ltd (formerly United Phosphorus Limited) (NSE: UPL & BSE: 512070) is leveraging its data analytics platform to empower and inform business users across its organization. The Indian multinational has been working closely with Qlik to streamline its data operations and enable data-driven decisions to drive growth.
A data-driven vision
UPL had a clear analytics vision from the start to make data central to its operations. The company had worked with legacy vendors, but found that adoption and usage levels were not where they wanted it to be. Additionally, employees were spending a lot of time working with data but were just not getting the insights they needed.
Speaking on this, UPL's Head of Analytics Bhushan Narsinghani said, "Data is very important to us at UPL. Given the scope of our operations, our business users – from the junior-most employee to mid-level managers to senior leaders – were previously working extremely hard to make sense of the data in front of them."
The road ahead
“As data leaders, we have always been ahead of the curve in using analytics to transform our business. With a strong data strategy in place, we now plan to shift from a reactive approach to analytics to one that is proactive,” UPL Global Chief Information Officer Balaji Aravamuthan said.
“We are focused on leveraging the tremendous opportunity that lies before us to utilize and explore insights using more varied data – by combining structured and unstructured data as well as internal and external data,” Aravamuthan adds.
