DataAI offers a new opportunity for technology leaders to immediately solve a long-term problem with new technology.
Ascendion announced DataAI (Data to the power of AI), a new enterprise digital solution that leverages AI to revolutionise data modernisation and management for value.
New research from Ascendion and HFS Research reveals that 41% of early AI innovators cite “high-quality data” as the top requirement for the “effective deployment of GenAI.” Business leaders are already spending about a year on technology services, but enterprise data challenges – and cost – continue to inhibit innovation. DataAI offers a new opportunity for technology leaders to immediately solve a long-term problem with new technology.
Ascendion’s AVA+ platform is an essential component of DataAI. AVA+ provides a suite of AI agents that help secure and accelerate data migration and modernization while ensuring safe and ethical AI deployment. Data engineers use the platform to create future-state data schemas, convert legacy processes, and migrate data with speed and transparency. This typically cuts the migration process in half while delivering up to 60% in cost savings due to reduced manual effort.
“DataAI helps businesses get AI-ready! Every client we serve knows they can extract more value from their data. Until now, most technology leaders simply didn’t have the investment needed to get their existing data accessible to powerful new AI tools,” said David Larson, Vice President, Data & Analytics, Ascendion. “Using AVA+, our engineers can turn data into actionable insights that improve customer experiences as well as business decision accuracy and velocity,” he added.
Ascendion’s DataAI solution leverages AI to build modern data foundations, embedding intelligence across data life cycle to rapidly and securely improve what the company calls “return on data.” Clients are already seeing significant value.
