The limitations of traditional business intelligence tools are becoming increasingly apparent, especially in the face of complex new data sources, such as IoT sensors, machine vision and XR environments. Often these systems fail to deliver meaningful business outcomes; by focusing on playing back metrics, rather than supporting decisions, they leave significant value on the table.
With over 15 years experience, crafting cutting-edge solutions for startups, enterprise teams, and consultancies, we are ideally placed to help our clients overcome these challenges. Our approach centres around developing products that go beyond telling you the way things are, to helping you understand how they could be and what you should do.
In a world that's increasingly driven by data and mediated by machines, new forms of visual intelligence are emerging, created by teams of strategists, designers, data scientists, gaming specialists, and engineers. We founded Parallel to build those teams and shape that future.
