Solution	Citi Ventures chose to invest in DataRobot, recognizing it as a market leader in extending AI and machine learning beyond data science teams. DataRobot's AI Cloud platform covers the entire modeling lifecycle, from data preparation to deployment into production to model monitoring and risk management. This comprehensive solution appealed to Citi Ventures, as it allowed their data scientists to focus more on interpretation rather than setting up models. The platform also integrates well with Snowflake and Databricks, enabling customers to get more out of their investments in AI and machine learning. With DataRobot AI Cloud, Citi data scientists and other business users were able to cut much of the data prep and monitoring associated with modeling. The solution narrows down models that may be the best fit and allows Citi to tap into hundreds of millions of models across all DataRobot customers. Read More Log in to view content
