Adopting the most advanced AI and data science frameworks within the streaming processing environment and simplifies the pro- visioning of the required back-end software, the firm also provides total scalability and extremely large datasets’ and workloads’ manage- ment capability. Gabriel begins by going into further detail about the areas the team at Forcive special- ises in, highlighting the importance of innovation for the firm. “It’s all about innovation. What makes Forcive innovative revolves around the company’s relentless aspiration to combine different disruptive technologies, around AI, around a human-accessible and enjoyable user experience which promotes collaboration and pro- ductivity to create new intelligent solutions. As such, the innovation doesn’t stem from new proprietary algorithms or from the owner- ship of specific user datasets to address narrow problems. Instead, it comes from the aim of transform- ing the way Enterprises deal with AI into a much more approachable and financially sustainable manner. “For these reasons, we have embraced the motto: “Open to Innovation”. Forcive’s AI platform is an open playground where different internal specialties and roles around AI, data management and infrastructure can cooperate to create intelligent applications and support different business needs. AI engineers can work on their algorithm in a more produc- tive manner since all the relevant functions for draining data, creating features, training algorithms, and deploying the solution into a production-grade environment are provided as services by Forcive.” Whilst on the topic of innovation, Forcive attribute their success to their innovation strategy, as Gabriel explains. “The key aspect of Forcive’s success is its innovation strategy: to make this technology mix a real advantage, by avoiding the trap of creating a new pachyderm software stack, with steep learning and adoption curves which would introduce another lock-in. “Forcive’s internal innovation funnel relies on multiple external sources, which includes re-us- ing and contributing to the most advanced platforms from the open source community, active collaboration with Academia and Research and strategic partner- ships with global industry leaders.” Looking ahead to what the future holds, the team at Forcive will continue to deliver an exceptional service to their clients, ensuring that they not only meet the require- ments which have been set, but also surpass their expectations. Lastly, Forcive hope to build upon the numerous accomplishments they have achieved over the years, which includes their recent success in Corporate Vision’s Cor- porate Excellence Awards 2019 where they were recognized as the Most Innovative Big Data Analytics Company of 2019.
