About Alphametrics

In a rapidly-changing world, information is vital. But what really counts is understanding what is happening, not just locally or even nationally but globally, to be able to assess developments, evaluate their repercussions and come up with an effective response. The key is to assemble the right information at the right time and to interpret it correctly.

Our University origins
Founded in 1983 at the start of the PC revolution by professional economists from Cambridge University, Alphametrics provides a powerful blend of experience, IT expertise, understanding and an international perspective to aid and inform decision-making in both the public and private sectors.

Computer know-how allied to analytical expertise
Over the years, Alphametrics has carried out research studies on a wide range of strategic issues across Europe, from the effects of structural change and problems of regional economies to labour market developments and innovations in education and training. We have produced numerous prestigious reports for the European Commission and constructed a number of database systems for managing information efficiently. In the process, we have built up an unparalleled knowledge of the data available for analysing economic, social and demographic issues and a detailed understanding of strategic concerns. And we have assembled a network of experts in EU Member States and other parts of Europe whom we can call on for assistance, to provide both a local and international perspective on developments.

The intelligent application of data
The hallmark of an Alphametrics piece of work is the effective organisation and analysis of information, allied with an informative presentation of the results and a lucid account of the implications. This is complemented by the know-how to exploit the full potential of computer technology and to harness the power of the internet to provide ready access to data and the ability to analyse issues more quickly and intelligently.

Where we are
Alphametrics is based in Royston, near Cambridge, and we work closely with our sister company, Applica, located in Brussels to provide on-the-spot support to the European institutions.
