CUSTOMER ADVOCATE: a gap in implementing enterprise software projects
See publicationWith so many parties involved in enterprise software projects there are multiple, often competing interests at play. Ultimately everyone wins by having a successful project that helps the organization reach it’s intended goals (assuming they were set properly in the first place). But the proverbial million dollar question is – how!

Are you scaling or squeezing your team?
See publicationThere are numerous benefits for companies to have technology partners that can truly “scale” including faster time to market, more updated features or functionality or responding to business needs quickly. In large-scale e-commerce every day with a new feature that might improve conversion, reach or engagement can well pay for the technical cost of implementation so time to market is a major reason.

The implementation of e-commerce projects involves groups of highly specialized software architects and developers that have to march together towards a common goal within a complex set of systems that have to work perfectly for the end result to work. A small, simple mistake in one system can result in massive financial and customer service headaches.

An AI powered consumer application designed to let users do the training of their news agents by taking personal actions and not only by likes or views of an article which can be games easily. We used Google Tensorflow AI combined with topic-based interactive emails the agent owner could intentionally train.

We used Google Tensorflow AI combined with topic-based interactive emails the agent owner could intentionally train.
For background, training is how AI agents, all types of AI, learn about the topics and how to provide answers to user questions, commands or prompts. Typically the company owning the software or code for the agent does the training based on feeding data to the “black box”. The user has no input into the accuracy or relevance of the answers, we just have to assume that the answers are valid.
Our hypothesis for this project was that we can get more relevant and personalized results if we involve the user in the training.
The project was successful with over 1000 recipients creating 10K agents in a wide variety of topics. It’s currently on hold as we evaluate options on the next evolution of this idea.
