Recently, and as many of you may be aware by now, Ultradata went through an internal restructure that resulted in the merging of the Sales and Client Engagement teams.

The newly restructured team is now known as the ‘Clients and Emerging Markets team’, and was formed with a clear aim to better support our highly valued clients.

We believe that this new internal change will allow us to deliver on our aim by allowing us to;

  • Gain a deeper understanding of every clients’ strategic roadmap and respective growth strategies
  • Be more on top of and up to date on clients’ daily operational needs and their requirements
  • Allow us to generate better awareness of current and key initiatives that we are currently undertaking
  • Be in a position to effectively communicate these key initiatives to our clients so that they are better placed to consider their uptake, and operationally and financially plan around them

Meet our teams
