Overview

A career spent making data usable

Dato' Seri Ivan Teh founded Fusionex in 2005, at a point when most organisations held far more data than they could interpret. The commercial question was not whether information was being generated. It was whether any of it could be turned into a decision.

Before starting the company, he held roles at Accenture and Hewlett-Packard, working on enterprise systems for large organisations. That background shaped the approach that followed. Fusionex was built around applied delivery for enterprise clients rather than research for its own sake, with the emphasis on systems that operate inside a working business.

The company went on to work across analytics, big data processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence, serving clients in sectors including financial services, retail, logistics and hospitality.
