The inception of Agoop has been a cornerstone in the space of big data. This IT company was founded as a spinoff of the SoftBank Group in 2009 to develop and offer GIS services and data analytics solutions. With their vision “Apply Big Data to spark happiness around the world~Big Data as a value~”, Agoop has valorized big data where organizations can leverage not just the sheer volume of the data but also solutions built on top of it to solve business problems. Agoop has 10+ years of experience in SDK development for crowdsourcing data, cloud infrastructure for real-time data processing and storage, location data science to valorize data, and dashboard development technologies, which are all essential for efficient utilization of big data. Even prior to big data gaining its popularity in 2011, Agoop was already building on these technologies. Agoop crowdsources petabyte-scale mobile-network user-experience data from consumers all over Japan, which has been significantly aiding SoftBank Corp in improving its network and emerge as the leader in Japan. This is one of the world’s first pioneer success stories of advanced big data. Assembling their technological capabilities, Agoop has devised Mobile-Network Services and Dynamic Population Solutions, which not only provide the voluminous data to the customers but add value to the data and offer AI algorithms, dashboards and analysis reports, facilitating the companies to utilize them to the fullest. “The strength of Agoop is that we are not just a data provider. Rather than leaving it up to the clients to utilize the data, Agoop does the value-addition to enable clients to maximize the use of the data,” mentions Kazuhisa Shibayama, President and CEO and Yusuke Kato, Director and CTO.
Agoop’s Mobile Network Experience Analyzer (MNEA) is the primary service that helped SoftBank Corp to prosper. Using patented technology, Agoop collects petabytes of mobilenetwork user-experience data from smartphones, based on the connection status and throughput in real-time across all carriers. This location-based data enables MNOs to capture hidden dissatisfaction level of users to prevent customer attrition and accordingly detect the priority areas that need improvements. It allows MNO’s management and board members to understand where their users’ experience stand relative to their competitors, thereby making better business decisions to achieve a maximum outcome with minimum investment.
Agoop also provides Dynamic Population Solutions using their GPS data, including user-content, and aids in analyzing people’s behavior to utilize them in a wide range of applications. Today, this solution has proved to be very useful for crafting the counter measures for COVID-19 by the Government. To add on, Point-of-Interest (POI) data, demographics, land type and transportation are some of the few key examples of data collected by Agoop, to produce reports and dashboards for tracking changes in human traffic, general mass behavior, and detailed human behavior.
