Enterprise AI

Dheeren Vélu Head of AI & Cognitive Business CBA Strategic IT

Enterprises are clearly recognizing the value associated with incorporating AI into their business processes. As large companies have increasingly “gone digital,” they have accumulated vast amounts of process, operational, and transactional data sets, which they can leverage to wring out more efficiency, productivity, and cost savings.

Much of the success of AI is due to the fact that most tasks currently delegated to AI technology are data-driven and therefore easily measured or benchmarked. When AI technology is deployed, even during a small pilot program, the benefits can quickly be demonstrated and proven by looking at the performance data.Let's take a look at some of AI solutions we have implemented for our enterprise customers and explore tangible results and values attained.
