With the addition of Automated Insights' NLG technology to Slalom's analytical capabilities, together they're transforming clients' business intelligence strategies with greater data understanding.
"Natural language generation takes self-service analytics to the next level by curating the most important highlights in complex analytics applications and adding critical business context to inspire specific action," says Amer Numan, Principal of Data and Analytics at Slalom. "The future of analytics is in data-backed storytelling – going beyond the metrics, describing a compelling trend or event, and adding reasoning and evidence. Automated Insights brings this to the table with a beautiful developer interface and seamless integration into your favorite dashboards."
"Slalom is one of the leading business and technology consulting firms, operating in 27 markets throughout the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. We are thrilled that together we're delivering the next wave of business intelligence," says Marc Zionts, CEO of Automated Insights. "By incorporating natural language generation into BI deployments, Slalom and Automated Insights aim to increase data literacy and engagement while empowering more people to make data-driven decisions."
Automated Insights' NLG platform, Wordsmith, increases efficiency and productivity by automating data-to-text analysis which eliminates data misinterpretation to enable faster data-driven decisions. According to top research advisory firms Gartner and Forrester, nearly all BI vendors will include NLG for analytics by the end of 2019. Ahead of the curve, Slalom and Automated Insights are empowering organizations to drive even more value out of their existing BI tools by uncovering more underlying insights, communicating powerful stories, and equipping individuals with the ability to fully comprehend their data. Collectively, they're driving the level of engagement necessary across an organization to shift the conversation from "I think" to "I know."
