APT: Company Info Session TODAY in Stamp Student Union

Dear Student:   

Please join Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) for a Company Information Session TODAY, September 24^th at 6:30 pm in Stamp Student Union (Pyon Su/Rm 2108). Food will be served! Until then, here’s a bit more about APT... 

REVOLUTIONIZING “BIG DATA” ANALYTICS

Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) is the world’s largest purely cloud-based predictive analytics software company. APT’s Test & Learn software is revolutionizing the way Global 2000 companies harness their Big Data to accurately measure the profit impact of pricing, marketing, merchandising, operations, and capital initiatives, tailoring investments in these areas to maximize ROI. APT’s client portfolio includes Walmart, Starbucks, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Walgreens, CVS, Subway, Victoria’s Secret, Hilton, and many others. APT was founded in 1999 and funded in 2006 by Accel-KKR. In June 2013, APT received a $100 million investment from Goldman Sachs.

WHAT DOES APT DO?

APT’s software helps senior executives of consumer-facing organizations make investment decisions that can drive millions of dollars in increased profits.  Numerous Fortune 500 companies use APT’s software to build their key strategies and guide corporate decisions including:

     - We’re considering investing hundreds of millions of dollars in rolling out the “store of the future” across our chain – what impact will our investment have on store sales?

     - A supermodel / sports celebrity endorsement costs us tens of millions of dollars per year – is it worth it for us to continue the endorsement?

     - We’ve got a new menu item that we believe will rapidly grow in popularity into being a signature dish. Should we promote this concept in a snack size on our dollar menu or in a full size as part of a combo meal?

     - Do sponsored ads alongside Google search results drive off-line sales in brick-and-mortar stores?

In developing software to solve these problems, APT employees apply computer science, math, and statistics to data gathered by retail stores, restaurants, banks, and other consumer-focused companies.  We create algorithms and analytical techniques that can handle on-the-fly processing of terabytes of noisy data across hundreds of dimensions.  These powerful analytics are presented via interfaces that make discovering and visualizing data patterns simple for a user with limited training.  The rewards are well worth the effort: an elegant solution that creates millions of dollars of profit.

We're looking for undergraduates with strong analytical skills interested in software engineering, consulting, product management, or database analyses to join our team in the Washington, D.C office. Please direct any questions to APT's UMD recruiting managers, Ryan Hirrlinger rhirrlinger@aptmail.com and Pragun Vohra pvohra@aptmail.com .
