"As an Advisor to some of the largest and most successful enterprises in the world, we rely on SSON Analytics during proposals as well as transformation engagements. The Atlas is very helpful in supplementing our location analysis. The City Cube is perhaps the most often used tool within the website as it provides a ton of useful information to not only build business cases but to understand the attractiveness of a certain location in not only compensation costs, but also in terms of center operating costs, cost of living, and job market characteristics. Of course, benchmarks are the ‘icing on the cake."
