Data is the new Oil…
we’re the only 13 year old you can trust to refine IT
Perception started as a consulting vehicle, assisting enterprise and public bodies in the Enterprise Resource Planning space. We adopted Tableau as an analytics tool and soon realised its reseller potential and the appetite that businesses and enterprises now had for visualising data and empowering end users.
However, being a reseller was not enough for our customers, who already trusted us with their data. Perception naturally became the data, analytics and BI partner of choice for some of the largest and most successful companies in Europe and globally, including Aon, Zurich, eBay, Bank of Ireland, Irish Life, Department of Jobs Enterprise and Innovation, MunichRE, KPMG, DAA, State Claims Agency, Cubic Telecom, EY, NSAI, Trend Micro, KBC, Davy Group, RenaissanceRE, The Arts Council, Science Foundation Ireland, Stryker, Mindshare, IntVen, Clavis, CarTrawler, FBD, Irish Farmers Journal, Commtech, Real World Retail, Carraighill Capital to name a few.
We have grown from strength to strength and built up a team of highly-skilled, passionate people with experience spanning diverse industries. Our team has a broad range of technical competencies. We have the real-world experience and the know-how of taking multiple customers from standing starts to multi-site, multi-user, multi-department adoption and BI deployment.
