NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genpact (NYSE: G), a global professional services firm focused on delivering digital transformation, today announced a new strategic relationship with Sequoya, an analytics firm specializing in multi-source data modelling and predictive analytics solutions.  With this relationship, Genpact will integrate the Sequoya 20/20 analytics platform into its analytics and digital portfolio to optimize the trade promotion operations for its consumer packaged goods (CPG) and life sciences client base.

CPG and life sciences companies are under increasing pressure to optimize their return on their investment in promotion and pricing-related activities to provide an exceptional customer experience.  Most continue to struggle to generate the insights from data that can best determine future outcomes and generate positive returns.
