Exponential Data Growth and Complexity Drives the Need for Decision Intelligence
In order for organizations to make reliable business decisions, they require a combination of strategic foresight and dependable data. However, the volume of data needed to achieve this is growing exponentially, making it far too extensive and complex for most companies to manage. Collaboration between humans and AI enables companies to remain competitive in this evolving environment. A promising approach to achieve this, is decision intelligence, a nascent discipline that blends human decision-making capabilities with cutting-edge technologies to deliver better outcomes.
Pateros: AI-Powered Prediction and Optimization Approach
Paretos is an AI-based decision intelligence platform for data-driven decision processes. It enables companies to quickly and reliably analyze complex data, generate optimized forecasts and decision proposals, and derive actions – even without any prior data science knowledge thanks to a clear no-code user interface and simple integration solutions.
One of paretos’ distinguishing features is its multidimensional approach, which can identify trade-offs. For instance, a logistics firm can use the solution to determine how to balance CO² consumption, delivery speed, and costs to maximize profit margins. At the core of the software is an optimization algorithm called “Socrates”, which was designed specifically to manage highly complex models.
