Data Decisions Group, a leading provider of data, research and marketing services, announced their acquisition of Reach Analytics, a predictive marketing technology startup in Silicon Valley.

Data Decisions Group can now score a national prospect database in 6 minutes and produce an increase in customer acquisition results of 4-7X.

Marketers have an increasingly urgent need for ‘Smart Data’ to drive better decisions.  Many traditional predictive methods exist, but they are too slow while machine learning tools do not explain/describe their outcomes, so they provide no insights for management.
