Bangalore, May 28 (IBNS): Professional services company, KPMG International on Wednesday announced the launch of 'KPMG Insights Labs', a virtual R&D center that will serve as a global innovation hub with the aim to incubate and develop data-driven business solutions for the clients.
According to the officials, the creation of KPMG Insights Labs is the latest step KPMG has taken in recent months to expand its portfolio of data and analytics (D&A) solutions and services, with new innovative solutions to help the member firms’ clients unlock the value of their data.
 
In November 2013, KPMG International announced the launch of KPMG Capital a fund created to accelerate innovation in D&A services and solutions. 
 
And, since December 2013, KPMG member firms in the U.S., U.K., and Australia announced a number of acquisitions or partnerships that are designed to offer D&A and digital solutions to clients helping them manage risk and cost, and drive growth, the officials informed.
 
As the global R&D resource for D&A solutions, which all of KPMG’s member firms worldwide can access, the Insights Labs will undertake R&D for the assets acquired by KPMG Capital as well as for existing KPMG intellectual property.
 
The Insights Lab, with hub locations in the UK, US and India will provide an environment where new D&A applications can be developed, ‘proof of concept’ designs demonstrated and verified, and ideas incubated, the officials said.
“The Insights Labs are intended to fill a critical gap for clients,” said Mark Toon, Global Leader of Data & Analytics and CEO of KPMG Capital. 
 
Toon added, “While companies are quickly pursuing strategies to capture and examine their data – the ‘Big Data’ chase – what we’re providing is an environment for putting data-driven solutions to the test.” 
 
He said, “TheLabs were designed with input from member firms’ clients and alliance partners, and will help them to explore and pressure-test new applications and simulate real scenarios to derive insights faster.” 
 
Amit Khanna, Data & Analytics lead for KPMG in India said, “More than ever, businesses need decision backed by insight, and the KPMG Insight Labs have been created to accelerate the pace of innovation in a secure and controlled environment, helping clients arrive at greater insights more quickly.”
 
Khanna said, “The new lab in Bengaluru recognises the capabilities of our Indian data scientists and will act as ground to build solutions for Indian and global markets. Indian clients are getting more sophisticated about use of data and analytics and KPMG lab in Bengaluru will help our clients to experience firstand the ‘art of the possible and the ‘art of the probable’ in leveraging their data for faster, more insightful decisions.”
 
The company officials noted that the critical areas for enhancing data-driven decision making – and those that will be the first to go through KPMG’s Insights Labs R&D process – will initially include new applications for customer analytics, competitive positioning, regulatory compliance and predictive modeling for clients in financial services, telecommunications, healthcare and life sciences and retail.
 
The KPMG Insights Labs are modeled on prototype lab environments in which KPMG firms’ professionals work with clients to test data-driven applications and derive the essential insights needed to address a complex business issue.
