The Challenge Over the last two years, we have been working with a cutting edge electronics company to build advanced algorithms using R and Python. Since they are at the research & design stage of the development process, their data structure is unique and challenging. Each week they generate thousands of data sets that have a spatial, temporal and experimental component. Their data structure is unique - around 10,000 voltage curves distributed on a disk.

The Challenge The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries required a platform that would allow their students to undertake examinations which had an R programming element, but which did not need students to download or install any software.

Not only have we broken new boundaries, we have recruited new full-time staff which have furthermore contributed to the glowing success of the company.
