The launch of AI Foundry marks the next phase in Kodak Alaris\u2019 evolution, building on document scanners and capture software.<\/p>\n<p>According to IDC, unstructured communications and related content \u2013 email, pictures, instant messages, documents, and other formats \u2013 account for 90% of all digital information.\u00a0This unstructured content must be read and understood, before a response can be created and a business process initiated. As a result, organisations require new automation solutions to address the volume and variety of unstructured data or face increasingly labor intensive B2B or B2C processes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnstructured communications are a disruptive force to the enterprise, breaking automation, adding cost to business processes, and driving down customer satisfaction,\u201d said Steve Butler, general manager of AI Foundry. \u201cAI Foundry was established to harness the power of artificial intelligence to understand amorphous data and provide smarter \u2018context aware\u2019 information management. With our end-to-end solutions for automating business processes, enterprises can work with AI Foundry to solve customer experience or content management problems holistically and drive the greatest ROI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Artificial Intelligence based solutions are especially powerful when used to understand customer communications and take action\u2014whether responding to an inquiry, building a knowledge base, or kicking off a workflow process. By adopting this new wave in technology, organisations can deliver more accurate responses on the first interaction, reduce handling times, minimise transaction costs, and increase staff productivity. More important than just saving money, businesses can now drive up customer satisfaction and loyalty by creating better customer experiences.<\/p>\n<p>AI Foundry\u2019s flagship offering, <a href=\"http:\/\/media.ne.cision.com\/l\/eycprloq\/aifoundry.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Info Insight<\/strong><\/a>, is ideal for businesses across a variety of industries and vertical markets, such as insurance, healthcare, retail, logistics, utilities, and anywhere customers interact electronically with their vendors. The algorithms underpinning the solution rely on linguistics (i.e. semantic understanding) to make sense out of unstructured communications, while learning in real time and \u201cgetting smarter\u201d over time. Info Insight also incorporates smart routing to send inquiries and suggested responses to the \u201cbest person\u201d considering that person\u2019s skill level, availability, time zone, and even language.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe name \u2018AI Foundry\u2019 aligns with our iron-clad solutions for understanding and managing unstructured communications,\u201d said Alan Swahn, vice president of marketing at AI Foundry. \u201cThe core advantage is that Info Insight uses natural language processing to read and understand unstructured information from all media that we use to communicate in our daily lives, including email, web chats, text messages, email attachments, and social media content. Traditional rule and keyword-based systems just aren\u2019t up to the task of solving today\u2019s problem. Our new breed of \u2018context aware\u2019 information management, positions AI Foundry to capitalize on the explosive growth of unstructured data.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a report by Forrester Research, AI is evolving fast in this decade, and it will become part of the daily engagement of customers with computers, devices, wearables, and systems we interact with to get tasks done, get answers, get support in making decisions, and automate repetitive actions.    \t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kodak Alaris has\u00a0announced the creation of AI Foundry, a business dedicated to helping organisations process and learn from structured and unstructured data through the use of proprietary Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology.
