When a large manufacturer of industrial computing chips sought to automate and improve product recommendations to customers for more than 100,000 electronic components, Insight used its Insight Lens™ framework to migrate multiple siloed datasets into an optimized Azure machine learning architecture built on Databricks. The result is an increase in about $20 million in annual sales for the client, and the chip manufacturer continues to roll out the solution to other business units and regions.
