However, as enterprises navigate the journey to develop viable AI solutions and derive the business benefits from analyzing big data, they must transform not only their workforce, standard processes, and operating models, but also modernize critical applications in their infrastructure and architecture.
This is often a tremendous task, and one that requires expert support to navigate the transformation effectively and efficiently. With the new partnership, SFL Scientific will offer data strategy and support for algorithm development across data centers and cloud infrastructures, while Iguazio provides its data science platform which saves time and cost on getting AI to production.
“We are thrilled to partner with such a well-respected player in the AI professional services arena,” said Asaf Somekh, CEO and co-founder of Iguazio. “Until now, AI solutions at scale—harnessing data from millions of end points or running multiple models simultaneously—were a luxury only afforded by tech giants. This partnership will empower enterprises to equally take advantage of the promise of AI.”
“As data science consultants working on state-of-the-art AI solutions, SFL Scientific utilizes best in class tools to serve our clients,” said Dr. Michael Segala, CEO and co-founder of SFL Scientific. “The partnership with Iguazio is valuable for accelerating client deployment and production objectives in a highly efficient, cost-effective manner.”
