Combining Vision and Data to Drive Digitization

AMSTERDAM–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Effective business increasingly leverages both the digital and
physical worlds, with the contribution from the digital world becoming
ever more prominent. The challenge remains how to align the two. The
principal disciplines that support this alignment are a clear strategy
for usage and analysis of data and the right technological architecture.
This requires that both disciplines are delivered from a single group.
For this reason, data strategist boutique Bloom will join forces with
VIQTOR DAVIS.

BLOOM helps its clients find new opportunities for growth and to assist
in their implementation by facilitating the roll-out of data strategy
and by creating data products such as machine learning algorithms. The
team consists of strategy analysts and data scientists with deep-rooted
experience in the online industry. BLOOM predominantly works on complex
issues for which there exists no standard solution.

VIQTOR DAVIS supports companies in the use of data as a strategic asset.
The organisation employs over 250 data specialists offering data
strategy, governance, management, science and analytics. The company has
subsidiaries in the Netherlands, England and the USA with supporting
managed services in Mexico and India.

BLOOM can now offer even better service to clients in the growing data
science market by building on the expertise, experience and client base
of VIQTOR DAVIS. Bloom can also leverage VIQTOR DAVIS’s experience in
areas including data integration and management of data services.

BLOOM was founded in 2013 by Eric Klaassen and Merlin de Graaf. BLOOM’ s
clients are international players and A-brands. They include corporates,
fast growing scale-ups, investment firms and start-ups.

Merlin de Graaf, Partner at BLOOM: “BLOOM has, over the past 6
years, built up an excellent reputation. We have a rapidly growing
client base that we have supported through over 100 projects in strategy
and data science. Our vision is, and has always been: data driven
companies are tomorrow’s winners. In a rapidly changing market we
continue to be actively looking for new developments and innovations. We
consider VIQTOR DAVIS, with its broad knowledge and experience, to be
our ideal partner to accelerate BLOOM’ s growth.”

Ivo-Paul Tummers, CEO VIQTOR DAVIS: “The causality between
optimal usage of data and success in business can no longer be deemed
the result of mere chance. The market is increasingly asking for a
player that can provide broad support in data and digital
transformation. This requires the bundling of various practices. We
envisage a collection of artisans in our chosen fields of expertise. In
other words: “ Data craftsmanship”. BLOOM fits this proposition
perfectly with its unique market positioning.”
