Founded in 1979, Information Resources, Inc. (SymphonyIRI Group) is the leading global provider of enterprise market information solutions and services, empowering its clients to grow their business profitably in a complex marketplace. Driving the transformation of the consumer packaged goods (CPG), retail, and healthcare industries, SymphonyIRI Group provides a unique combination of real-time market content, advanced analytics, enterprise performance management software, and professional services. The company´s portfolio of services, solutions, and technology enables leading retailers and their suppliers around the globe to see what they are missing, act faster with greater confidence and win at the shelf.
The company has been providing market solutions for CPG manufacturers and retailers for nearly 30 years. In late 2003, SymphonyIRI Group was acquired by the industry-visionary company Symphony Technology Group, run by Dr. Romesh Wadhwani. That acquisition has been the catalyst for a major transformation of SymphonyIRI Group. Since the acquisition, SymphonyIRI Group has focused on changing the value proposition for its CPG, retail and healthcare clients by striving for a ten-fold increase in the value its clients realise from its market information, analytic and decision support software solutions. To support these efforts, SymphonyIRI Group is focused on developing predictive, on-demand analytic applications designed to empower manufacturers and retailers to manage their businesses for profitable growth.
