CSC leverages Microsoft Azure and Microsoft
Cortana Intelligence Suite to deliver a set of 96 data stories to
key industries including healthcare, banking and capital markets,
energy, technology, insurance, and retail
CSC (NYSE: CSC) today announced the expansion of its strategic
alliance with Microsoft through the advancement of Industrial
Machine Learning (IML) solutions that enable data scientists to
produce new data-derived enterprise insights, leading to better and
more timely business decisions.
Most large, data-rich companies fail to benefit from information
on an enterprise-wide scale because they are not equipped to
effectively capture and analyze available data sources. A recent
survey from PwC and Iron Mountain found that 57 percent of
businesses are unable to extract significant value from their
information, and 23 percent are unable to derive any real value at
all. Regardless of size, geography or sector, businesses are
struggling to fully realize value from their information.
“CSC has been working with Microsoft on industry-specific
approaches to the problem of creating data science that works,”
said Dan Hushon, chief technology officer, CSC. “The result is a
holistic, enterprise-scale data science and machine-learning
offering called Industrial Machine Learning (IML), which improves
the return-on-investment clients see from their information. IML
can facilitate tangible benefits, such as reduction in patient
readmissions or lowering manufacturing material consumption
rates.”
Hushon explores the “Rise of the Intelligent Machines,” among
his recently announced IT trends that will define the marketplace
in 2017. IML is an intelligent machines accelerator.
To unleash the information value potential of its clients, CSC
is beginning to deliver a set of 96 data stories – framing a
business need as a reason, a goal and an interested party – across
six different industry-specific verticals: banking and capital
markets, energy and technology, insurance, manufacturing,
healthcare, and retail. These data stories include intelligent
end-to-end solutions such as predicting problematic patient
recovery in healthcare and digital twin simulation for production
planning in manufacturing, among others.
Together, through IML, CSC and Microsoft will create a
significantly more efficient and simplified path for clients to
realize machine learning data stories and exploit transformational
insights. This approach will mark the first application of IML on
the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, leveraging the power of
Microsoft Cortana Intelligence Suite. The result is a powerful
solution to transform enterprise data into intelligent action.
IML’s systematic approach, combined with Cortana Intelligence
Suite’s rich and flexible analytics solution, provides operative
solutions that tap into the vast amount of data available to a
business, leveraging next-generation predictive modeling, text
mining, pattern recognition and artificial intelligence.
The IML solution will enable data scientists to successfully
position the data driven enterprise to:
- Execute on an enterprise-wide
scale. Leading to predictable, repeatable results in machine
learning and data science projects as a result of professionally
managed services built from scalable technologies and
processes.
- Simplify the path to smarter
analytics outcomes. Producing more accurate business results by
simplifying the path with easy-to-deploy, integrated data science
stacks which bring artificial intelligence and machine
learning-driven micro-services into a common interactive
development environment with rigorous experimentation
processes.
- Manage project outcomes.
Companies deploying machine learning will be able to realize a more
measurable impact on the business, while analytics teams will be
able to more effectively influence changes in company metrics based
on machine learning insight.
- Build re-usable industry data
stories. Increasingly important to business agility is the
ability to build industry specific analytics apps that leverage
existing micro-services and partner for enterprise development
capabilities.
- Create data pipelines. Enabling
users to establish, maintain and manage data pipeline – such as
data migration, data source management, and data lake management –
that supply the integrated information required to successfully
implement a beneficial data story.
“Cortana Intelligence Suite combines relevant data from anywhere
and turns it into intelligent action,” said Joseph Sirosh, CVP,
Microsoft Corp. “CSC’s IML solution harnesses the power of the
cloud with Microsoft Azure and advanced analytics with Cortana
Intelligence to allow customers to predict potential issues and
generate decisions which are then actionable. As a result,
companies can take advantage of data that had previously been
overlooked and give it real business value.”
CSC Big Data and Industrial Machine LearningCSC seeks to
help clients consistently produce data-driven insights at
enterprise scale. This can be realized with industrial machine
learning (IML), which provides a scalable solution for ingesting
data, building algorithms, deploying them into production, and
generating continuous insights to ongoing business problems. The
IML offering integrates a fully managed data operating environment,
which lowers the cost and time to generate business insights, set
of industry data stories across multiple segments, a set of process
& technologies that simplify the process of adopting AI/ML for
business transformation and outcome consulting to help clients
realize these promised transformations.
