Turning gold into diamonds

90% of the data in the world today has been generated in the last 2 years, and the amount of data will continue growing exponentially in at least the next 10 years. You can choose not to invest in data analytics today, but you will feel the consequences in the next years. Data must not be seen as a cost driver. It is your most valuable asset, and should be treated accordingly. Some say data is the new gold, and we think they are right. But how to turn gold into diamonds?

By combining the rich data environment that every business unit of Pon is generating each day, with the unstructured data coming from the internet, our mission is to make Pon the smartest trading and service company in the world.
