Quadient, a leading provider of omnichannel customer experience solutions, needed a way to unify and combine every single data type they work with to create machine learning applications that run in real time. This would enable its developers to build a SAAS cloud platform for enterprises to improve customer experience and achieve digital transformation through business automation. Its platform would then be able to predict events by ingesting data from several sources including real-time sensor data, historical data (like ERP and CRM), news, social media, flight tracking, and other sources — and then leverage AI and ML to interact with all that layered data to derive business interaction predictions. This enabled Quadient to provide new capabilities and additional value to its clients (particularly those in the insurance space). Prior to finding and leveraging Iguazio, Quadient tested several cloud platforms to unify, store, and provide a single interface for the various data types it wanted to work with (such as relational data, key values, time series, etc.)

Home Credit International (HCI), a global consumer financial provider, recognized the potential of Machine Learning (ML) models in financial institutions, particularly in risk-related use cases. However, they faced challenges in deploying ML models efficiently. The time to delivery was long and access to data was limited. HCI’s internal research revealed that nearly 80% of the time spent on data science-related tasks was dedicated to collecting datasets and cleaning and organizing the data, leaving only about 20% of the time for core tasks like building training sets, mining data, and refining algorithms. In 2021, the average delivery time of an AI initiative, from prototype to production, was more than seven months. The biggest blocker for more efficient use of AI/ML was access to data, followed by the need for a proper AI/ML environment.

Ecolab, a global leader in water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions, wanted to develop predictive risk models for water systems, industrial machinery, and other applications. The company's machine learning journey began in 2016 with a project to develop bacterial growth risk models using existing sensor data. However, the process of building, deploying, and maintaining machine learning models in production was complex and challenging. The company needed a data science collaboration platform that would bring together its large, geographically dispersed team, while efficiently using cloud computing resources. The deployment of machine learning models at Ecolab followed a 'rewrite-and-deploy' pattern, where model development occurred independent of the application developers. This approach led to deployment timelines exceeding 12 months on average.

Cloudera delivers an Enterprise Data Cloud for any data, anywhere, from the Edge to AI.Cloudera was founded in 2008 by some of the brightest minds at Silicon Valley’s leading companies, including Google (Christophe Bisciglia), Yahoo! (Amr Awadallah), Oracle (Mike Olson), and Facebook (Jeff Hammerbacher). Doug Cutting, co-creator of Hadoop, joined the company in 2009 as Chief Architect and remains in that role. Today, Cloudera has more than 1,600 employees. They have offices in 24 countries around the globe, with their headquarters in Palo Alto, California.

DotData delivers an end-to-end Data Science automation for the enterprise. Its Data Science automation platform speeds time to value by accelerating, democratizing, and operationalizing the entire Data Science process through automation. Founded in 2018, dotData is a spin off of NEC Corporation, and is led by Dr. Ryohei Fujimaki, a data scientist, and the youngest research fellow ever appointed in the 119-year history of NEC.

Alteryx, Inc. was formed in 2011 and is a leader in self-service Data Science and analytics. Alteryx provides analysts with the unique ability to easily prep, blend and analyze all of their data using a repeatable workflow, then deploy and share analytics at scale for deeper insights in hours, not weeks.Analysts love the Alteryx Analytics platform because they can connect to and cleanse data from data warehouses, cloud applications, spreadsheets and other sources, easily join this data together, then perform analytics – predictive, statistical and spatial – using the same intuitive user interface, without writing any code.
