Quantum

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am a systems architect and integrator for an ad product creation and monetization platform.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Quantum?

We needed help breaking into big data analytics so that we could assess the different amount of traffic our ads produced. We were looking for new and interesting insights into the advanced statistics of how users interact with ads for our clients. To do this, Quantum built us a pipeline for big data processing.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I went to Quantum with a general vision of how the platform should be built based on my own research on how big data analytics platforms usually work and their architecture. I initially discussed this with Quantum’s solutions architect, and as we got into more project details, I was in contact with two Java programmers. They developed a two–stage program in the Amazon EMR to process big data across a Hadoop environment. What they wrote analyzes static raw data in Amazon’s S3 storage on a regular schedule, which we then evaluate in our internal statistics system.

What is the team composition?

Our first contact was with a representative and after that our main points of contact were an infrastructure technician and the general programmer. As needed, I also reached out to Quantum’s Solutions Architect and multiple Java programmers with project details.

How did you come to work with Quantum?

They were suggested to me by a previous colleague who said they were extremely knowledgeable, especially when it came to things in the vein of machine learning and data processing. We were impressed with their successes and they had the benefits of being in the same time–zone and speaking the same language with me. 

What is the status of this engagement?

We began working with them March 2017 and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We now have our own internal statistics system that is similar to Google Analytics but with access to very low–level statistical reports. We can analyze the behavior of users on different websites and how they engage with our ad placement. We had very few problems throughout the entire project and anything we found Quantum quickly fixed.

How did Quantum perform from a project management standpoint?

We generally used email to communicate and I would set up Skype calls to meet with specialists and their programmers. Even though we are in the same time–zone, our weekends begin on different days but that rarely presented any problems.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We came into this project without any experience processing big data. They were willing to work with us and help make sure we gained that experience. Their professionalism and ability to meet all of our specifications was exceptional.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing I could point out. They are very experienced and met all of our expectations.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

We came to them with the project outlined and detailed specifications, because of that everything went as expected. Potential customers should have a good plan for a large block of consecutive work so that Quantum can allocate their resources and provide the best scheduling. 

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CTO of Bridgewise, a financial services company that gives investors around the globe access to AI analysis.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Quant?

We had no AI capabilities before this engagement, so Quant’s primary goal was to build our entire AI foundation from scratch.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Quant has been responsible for designing and implementing advanced financial analysis models and an AI-driven investment advisory system. 
The team has built and expanded several core AI components of our platform, including the development of financial analysis models, the creation of an LLM-based investment advisory module, and the design of scalable data-processing pipelines and ML infrastructure.Quant has delivered everything, including the actual code and models for the AI components. The team has also been responsible for onboarding new team members.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with 25 teammates from Quant.

How did you come to work with Quant?

We found Quant through a referral. We already knew the quality of their work because I had worked closely with their CTO and trusted the team’s reliability, technical professionalism, and structured delivery approach.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $1.5 million.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2023, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Quant’s work has resulted in an improvement in the accuracy and consistency of AI-driven financial insights, faster release cycles for new AI features, lower internal overhead thanks to Quant’s predictable and well-structured work, and increased stability and scalability of our AI infrastructure. For example, we’ve seen up to 2% hallucinations, 200 ms response time, and 3 cents for LLM questions.

How did Quant perform from a project management standpoint?

Quant has delivered always on time and has great and professional management. The team has consistently communicated timelines, development stages, and upcoming requirements. Quant’s internal processes align with ISO-based standards, and they’ve smoothly integrated into our own workflow framework. While we remain in charge of delivery management, Quant operates within our structure efficiently and transparently.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Quant has impressed us on several important levels. First, their depth of expertise in AI, technical precision, and understanding of our industry. Moreover, they’ve integrated seamlessly into our internal processes, working within our structures smoothly and without creating friction or delays.
Additionally, I especially appreciate Quant’s HR and staffing process. New team members have been introduced gradually and thoughtfully, ensuring continuity, knowledge transfer, and smooth integration.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, we don’t have any significant concerns. Any minor issues have been quickly addressed.
