Bridging the Gap How they do Business
Mu Sigma's strength in delivery is supported by its Process and Platforms ecosystem that enables it to achieve both Economies of Scale and Speed. The product suite, also known as the 'The Art of Problem Solving' (AoPS) system, is an innovative set of tools designed to assist clients in solving complex challenges. The concept of AoPS stems from Mu Sigma's view of itself as problem solvers rather than simply service delivery partners. The problems they solve vary from determining market visibility, to effective supply chain and distribution processes, or determining the target demography based on customer sentiments and behavioral patterns, etc. Mu Sigma analyzes the customer's current state while determining their desired future state. They then identify the gap between these two states and provide robust ways to bridge the gap.
Mu Sigma, being the category defining organization it is, looks at itself as “Services as a Software” organization.
“Our goal, over the next 5 years, is to grow Mu Sigma into a trusted partner for all our customers, by expanding the nature of work we do, and by providing higher optionality. We intend to continue going down the path less traveled and breaking down complexity while transforming our clients’ ecosystems” concludes Dhiraj Rajaram, Founder & CEO at Mu Sigma.
