Challenge
IHS’ aggressive growth plan depended on acquiring nursing facilities in underserved, relatively wealthy markets likely to need skilled nursing care. Identifying the best acquisition candidates required the ability to compare service regions nationally. IHS’ research capacities could not deliver this analysis efficiently, thereby limiting its growth.
Solution
Mind Over Machines built and integrated an innovative visual mapping interface into the IHS data analysis engine. The new system quickly revealed the market value of any geographic region, producing in minutes what had taken weeks before.
Results
This competitive advantage allowed IHS’ mergers and acquisitions team to acquire the best sites and ignore the duds. Revenue grew from $200 million to over $3 billion in just seven years.
