Why choose Prism?

Since Prism formed in 2000, we've steadily grown our client base across a variety of industries, and are extremely proud of the number of customers who depend on us and come back to us time after time. We believe that this demonstrates the value that we add to their work, as well as their satisfaction in the way in which we do business. Our core values can be summarised as follows...

Effective

• Our peerless team offers a wealth of skills; we have statistical consultants, trainers and programmers who specialise in various areas, from whom we can create the ideal task force to solve your most challenging statistical problems.
• A key benefit of working with us is that you have access to the entire team's expertise, rather than being limited to the specific talents of any particular individual.
• Although we take great pride in our team's first-class statistical expertise, we realise that statistics is not always the favourite subject of the scientists, engineers and analysts that we work with! However, we've successfully trained and supported thousands of individuals over the years, giving them the confidence and capability to choose the right statistical tool for the job, apply it correctly in their chosen software package, and interpret its output.

Flexible

• We appreciate that our clients don't have the luxury of time, and are frequently battling urgent deadlines. We have a proven track record of providing a rapid, responsive service in order to give them every chance of success. 
• We also understand that our clients cannot predict when and where they'll need our support. Our ad hoc statistical support package offers a completely flexible way for clients to call upon our consultancy services, with no tie-in or commitment on their part. Usually, they simply set aside a pot of time to draw down against as required - and, if they don't need to use it, then they don't get charged for it.

Transparent

• When providing statistical solutions to our clients, we like to "show our workings". It is our strong belief that we usually offer the greatest value to our clients by enabling them to solve their own problems, rather than adopting a completely outsourced, "black box" approach.
• We are similarly straightforward with contracts, estimates and invoicing. We always work on a time and materials basis, in order to provide a clear breakdown of how our time has been spent. Although fixed cost quotes may sometimes seem appealing, we are far more comfortable being open and honest about what our clients are paying for.
