 What defines us (in just 4 clicks)

We believe in data driven decision support.
We are scientific but not academic.
We are independent.
We empower you but don’t leave you on your own.
Complexity and number of available options have exploded – making optimal decisions requires technology support. We provide that support but clients hold the steering wheel.
We believe in the power of AI & modeling. But we also know their limits and we’ll tell clients about it. We are NOT black box. And we are pragmatic about data limitations.
There is no media agency behind us and no data provider. Not even a financial investor. Analyx® is owner-operated since 2006 - giving clients objective advice.
The software we provide is only part of your success. The rest is organizational change. We know about that as most of us have worked on the industry side of the table before.
