Background<\/h3>\n
\n

ZS Associates are a leading consulting firm that help hundreds of clients, in over 70 countries, measurably improve the effectiveness of their sales and marketing efforts. For over seven years, they have been using numerical routines from the\u00a0n<\/i><\/span>AG Library<\/a>\u00a0to support their market research practice, focussing on the n<\/i><\/span>AG Libraries random number generation, statistics, and interpolation chapters.\u00a0
\u00a0
The Challenge<\/strong>
\u00a0
ZS Associates have clients with hundreds of millions of dollars of marketing expenditure at stake. A vital element of their business process is to accurately target their marketing campaigns and assess their effectiveness. Software with underlying accurate numerics is key to this process. ZS Associates, being an organisation born from the principles of mathematical models, employ an in-house development team to create cutting edge software applications enabling fast and accurate analysis, and reporting.\u00a0
\u00a0
The information produced by the ZS Associates software applications enable their marketing consultants to understand and measure the advantages and disadvantages of alternative customer clustering and other segmentation techniques, which in turn help to improve sales effectiveness and set appropriate target priorities for planning. This enables ZS Associates to advise clients when making tactical and strategic choices for market segmentation, sales forces size and other market configurations in multiple geographies.\u00a0
\u00a0
The Solution<\/strong>
\u00a0
Knowing that n<\/i><\/span>AG have been the world experts at mathematical and statistical algorithm provision for over four decades, ZS Associates turned to n<\/i><\/span>AG as the solution to their software\u2019s numeric capabilities. By including n<\/i><\/span>AG\u2019s reliable and robust statistical routines, ZS Associates are confident that they provide a rigorous analysis of marketing campaigns and research. The application development task was made easier by making use of the n<\/i><\/span>AG Library\u2019s highly detailed documentation and example code, allowing the team to focus their technical abilities on other important areas of their work.\u00a0
\u00a0
The high quality of the routines means that ZS Associates can efficiently analyze the large amounts of information that is produced from numerous surveys and other data gathering activities. The embedded n<\/i><\/span>AG routines underpin their applications, power analysis and results, day in and day out.\u00a0
\u00a0
\u201cI find that the n<\/i><\/span>AG Library works very well for us\u201d,\u00a0<\/em>says Matthew Woodard a Group Product Development Lead with ZS Associates.\u00a0\u201cWith very large amounts of data to analyze, the speed of the core analysis routines is critical to our success. The statistical routines in the n<\/i><\/span>AG C Library have substantially exceeded original expectations, allowing us to focus effort on the other parts of our application.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
The n<\/i><\/span>AG Library can be called from many programming environments and includes routines that are tuned for parallel and multicore computing. Chapters are continuously refreshed through constant contact with academic institutions for advances in numerical techniques.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
