Great idea, just wait for the amazing practical insight an offshore data center brings. Academic attempts to impose models on reality w/techniques management teams do not understand or trust. Smart effort to arbitrage human capital but ultimately issues like corporate culture, understanding and trust of underlying methodologies etc, are not properly addressed by this model. Simply buy an out of the box data mining solution like “Autobox”. The techniques/quant expertise are a commodity.

With the current shortage of Big Data/Analytics talent, the outsourcing approach may be appealing to mid/large enterprise clients. Especially if Mu Sigma figures out how to bring the analytical workloads on premises to remove the need to migrate large, internal data sets.
