ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AI-powered business intelligence and data insights

ACL Digital applied its transformational knowhow to help a trusted market research company create an innovative platform that transforms data into insights. Thanks to the innovative platform, ACL Digital’s client benefits from enhanced decision making founded on quicker, data-driven knowledge.

In an era where data is abundant, businesses face the challenge of efficiently harnessing structured data from multiple sources to make informed decisions. Yet navigating traditional business intelligence (BI) tools often requires specialized knowledge, making it difficult for non-technical users to extract insights without relying on technical input. Furthermore, these tools may not support natural language queries or offer the flexibility needed to customize reports.

Challenge

Easily and efficiently harness structured data from multiple sources to make informed decisions.

Solutions

An advanced AI-powered platform that streamlines data extraction and insight generation.

Benefits

  • Data security and privacy  
  • Cost effectiveness  
  • Enhanced decision making  
  • User empowerment  
  • Flexibility 

Streamlining complexity 

Complex data analysis using traditional methods is challenging – often requiring specialized expertise – and time consuming. These challenges can result in slow or delayed decision-making, limiting the ability of companies to compete in today’s data-driven world. A European company specialized in market research called on the ALTEN Group’s ACL Digital, a leader in digital engineering and transformation, to put the power of AI to work in harnessing the power of data.  

They developed an advanced AI-powered platform that streamlines data extraction and generates insights for business purposes. The solution leverages natural language processing (NLP) capabilities to address the complexities of structured data analysis, allowing non-technical users to interact with the data using natural language queries. The platform’s ease and speed in generating insights enables rapid, data-driven decision making, reducing the time required for complex analysis. In short, the platform quickly transforms data into actionable answers. 

Flexible, customized, user-friendly 

The platform’s user-friendly NLP interface simplifies data extraction, enabling chatbot-like interactions. It supports multiple input files and databases (e.g., Excel, CSV), allowing users to easily upload data or connect to databases directly. An intuitive drag-and-drop interface simplifies the generation of concise summaries and customized, visually engaging reports in a variety of formats, including PDF, Excel, and Docx.  Multilingual capabilities enhance the user accessibility. The fine-tuned prompt engineering can be tailored to specific industries and domains to ensure accuracy. In addition, the platform supports on-premises as well as cloud deployment, thereby ensuring both flexibility and security. 

The tools  

OpenAI’s GPT-3.5-Turbo and GPT-4-Turbo were used for NLP, providing accuracy and efficiency in the processing of natural language inputs. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) was deployed to enhance outputs from the datasets and minimize errors. AWS Cloud provided for scalable infrastructure, allowing for easy integration with other AWS services. CromaDB VectorDB enable fast retrieval of relevant data points, facilitate intuitive and context-aware data searches, and optimize the storage of the extracted data for quick access and analysis. Transformers (PyTorch) and Spacy NLP Models allow for fine-tuning of the language models to support domain-specific data extraction. Finally, Python FASTAPI and MVC Architecture support scalable web services.
