Vertis Exits Stealth With Industry’s First Data Science Solution to Optimize Critical Workforce and Workplace Strategies and Decisions

By HRTech News Desk On Jul 16, 2021

Vertis, Inc., a high-growth data-science SaaS company, emerged from stealth mode, and unveiled the general availability of its “Vertis Market Intelligence Platform”, the only platform that leverages billions of data points and proprietary data science to help business leaders implement data-driven people and workplace strategies.

The platform delivers dynamic insights to executive, HR, and real estate leaders in high-growth enterprise organizations, allowing them to make accurate, data-driven decisions quickly, and to compete more effectively in today’s dynamic, hybrid workplace with its complex labor challenges. The data accessible through the Vertis Market Intelligence Platform enables organizations to make informed decisions about real estate, talent, and workforce expansion.

Without the instant recommendations and creative trendspotting provided by Vertis’ Market Intelligence Platform, enterprises resort to spending millions of dollars on specialized consultancy projects with prolonged timeframes, only to receive static, outdated information that lacks critical context.
