MenuHow is the current outsourcing industry looking like in terms of research, analytics and data related work?
From my experience, I see the industry has some sort of apprehensions..Not sure, what though. Would appreciate industry experts to share light on the topic and suggest how/what should be the approach to reach target prospects? Any reference would be helpful.

I've found talented data scientists in several other countries who do just as good as ones I've worked with in Silicon Valley. It is not a position one can automate away, of course - one needs to know more about the type of data that needs grooming and what types of skills best fit it (DSP vs analytics vs whatever buzz word that relates best to the science at hand). Can you speak more about your goals?
There is a lot of growth in data analytics, data visualization, data science and machine learning.
The main driver of this is that companies are starting to track a lot of data now that they have the technology available and the ability to gather it. This results in a huge increase in data science work.
One of the main challenges companies face is that they are not sure how great a data science firm is. So I would recommend:
1. Make sure to get reviews from your existing clients and introduce your prospects to past clients to give them a better understanding of your work.
2. Check out Kaggle.com and try completing a few projects there as that will help you gain credibility and access clients
3. Check out VenturePact.com and try signing up there are as getting a third party to vet your firm will help increase your credibility. Also VenturePact will help you connect with clients.
Not a simple enough topic to start from scratch. I remember studying the topic of artificial intelligence for some time and also did not know where to start. This information portal https://www.aiperspectives.com/ helped me a lot. Just great articles on this topic. Try reading, I'm sure you will learn something new for yourself.
An engagement model is a framework, which defines collaboration between client and analytics outsourcing partner in terms of the level of control, responsibility, and a base for further development. By bringing together, the expertise from outside an organisation can innovate and go beyond what their current analytics team can offer. This is a simple model that allows the company to extend the existing in-house staff with workers from an outsourcing partner. It reduces cost and time by taking the required technical and domain expertise from the outsourcing vendor. These data science expertise that the client lacks are provided by the outsourcing vendor on a fixed price time-bound activity.

How to promote a paid iOS app to increase downloads ?
Your best bet to get traction quickly in USA is to advertise on mobile ad networks. You may need to advertise on CPM/CPC basis instead of CPI if you have a paid app so make sure you understand your user lifetime value and watch conversion rates closely so you don't overspend. That said, depending on what your niche/vertical is, there are many other ways to market non-gaming apps.SR

How did Snapchat boast a solid user base within a short period of time, compared to Facebook and Twitter?
I've been in the picture messaging space for a while now with my apps Lutebox (voted one of London's top ten most loved apps) and now Click Messenger. I've written a few articles about the space including a recent post about the Future of Mobile Messaging. Snapchat started out as an app called Picaboo, which pretty much did what it does now (prior to the latest update with chat and video calling). They quickly rebranded but saw a little uptake in user numbers and had quite low downloads for several months. Then around Christmas 2011 one of the founders' mom had told her friend about the app, who told her kid and her kid basically then spread the word throughout their high school in L.A. That was what really blew up their download numbers as it spread across teenagers at local high schools. As far as I know they didn't advertise in the early days, relied solely on word of mouth. Also it is assumed that they have a solid user base. Comparatively speaking, their user base may be in the low tens of millions, which may a great base of users, but nowhere even close to being as big as Facebook or Twitter. I'd be happy to speak about this in more detail or about the picture messaging landscape and what I believe to be the future of mobile messaging.AA

A tech startup fully outsourced. What problems would be in this situation?
The ideal way would be to hire the engineer while the project is still under development. You and the engineer should follow up with the outsourced partner in the process. This will give hold to the engineer and later more staff can be trained in upgrading or follow on versions of the product/service.SM

What is the best way to write a cover letter to an early-stage startup?
Better than a cover letter is to actually proactively DO something to help them. It'll show them not only that you've researched them, but you're passionate about the startup and worth bringing on. A man got a job at Square early on for just making them a marketing video on his own (back before they had one). Since you're a web designer, design a stellar 1-pager that's targeting their message to a particular niche. Something they could use on social media or something. If they're like most startups, they're not interested in reading cover letters. They're interested in passionate individuals who can add value to the organization.AS
