Discovery call: AI-powered personalization for the enterprise

A modern data platform can fuel many transformational outcomes. One of the biggest drivers of data modernization is the personalization of customer experiences, which is key to boosting customer loyalty, driving cross-sell opportunities and acquiring new customers.

Yet many organizations — in industries such as financial services, retail and healthcare — lack the modern data platforms to support this critical capability. Personalization is simply not achievable unless data is in order, and this is becoming even more relevant as generative AI matures.

Get started today

Schedule a no-cost, discovery call with one of our experts. We're are ready to help you assess your organization’s readiness to deliver intelligent, personalized experiences. In just half an hour, we’ll discuss your priorities and see if our structured approach is a fit for your organization.

Overview of engagement

During your discovery call, we'll engage in a detailed discussion designed to assess your current environment. Through this process, we'll collaboratively determine whether our tailored workshop is the optimal pathway to translate your visionary concepts into tangible value.

Our AI-powered personalized experiences workshop leverages the robust capabilities of Microsoft's Azure platform, the innovative solutions of Optimizely's Opal AI, and Valtech’s seasoned strategic and technical proficiency. Together, we create an ecosystem primed for the realization of personalization and business transformation.

While each workshop is meticulously customized to suit the unique requirements of your organization, here's a glimpse of the overarching approach:

Step 1: 30-minute discovery call

Consultation: Is our AI enablement workshop right for your business?

Step 2: Trifecta workshop

A custom engagement hosted at the Microsoft Technology Center, Valtech lab or in your own offices

  • Kickstart a conversation. Present industry-specific use cases that use the power of Microsoft, Optimizely and Valtech to deliver power results. Collaboratively review these use cases to identify where pain points and opportunities align.

  • Ideate and prioritize. Identify ways to leverage personalization, generative AI and data-driven intelligent experiences to solve specific problems within your portfolio. Assign ranked prioritization to these ideas to determine the most appropriate sequencing of how to implement the vision.

  • Create a roadmap. Consider the unique problems to solve and opportunities to seize. Evaluate the solution’s value across its evolution, from proof of concept through scaled implementation. Collaboratively build a prioritized roadmap for realizing value.

  • Go from concept to action. The workshop’s output can be wide-ranging. Examples include funding proposals, business cases for the executive board, prototype demonstrations or functioning demo code.

Step 3: Thin slice proof of value <8 weeks

  • Implement a solution that tackles the core problem identified in the workshop.

  • Develop a functioning experience with Azure Data Services and Optimizely using live data.

Step 4: Scale out proof of value to digital and data transformation program

  • Wider rollout of data modernization and personalization at scale

  • May include content and platform modernization, customer data orchestration and RTD, data foundations

Workshop outcomes

Our workshop will equip you with an actionable plan to develop experiences that convert customers, make employees more persuasive and efficient, and deliver measurable uplift across numerous use cases.

  • Understand the ingredients required from a people-technology-data perspective. We will have use case demonstrators and live demos that can better inform stakeholders and inspire ideation for your own use cases.

  • Prioritize the most impactful use cases to help gain the buy-in of your organization.

  • Demonstrate the impact to value with a thin slice example against your highest value use case.

 

And while personalization is a key value driver for data modernization, there are many other use cases to consider:

  • Improve operational efficiency via automation and AI

  • Optimize costs through intelligent forecasting

  • Achieve regulatory compliance

  • Enhance and automate decision-making

  • Consume AI that exists in the stack today

20-minute discovery call: Power up your enterprise with cloud-scale analytics

Enterprises are grappling with how to manage large data volumes and optimize data management and analytics processes. Traditional approaches can no longer keep pace with the increasing complexity of data sources and the need for real-time insights — and there’s a lot of uncertainty about how to scale without increasing complexity.

The issues aren’t necessarily about the data itself. They relate more to what’s happening around the data:

  • No central view of data assets, their location, ownership, meaning or value

  • Lack of detailed documentation about the data contained within various platforms

  • Inability to achieve compliance with industry standards, regulations or laws

  • Limited understanding of data quality, and the impact of poor data quality on operational processes and business decisions

The right service for you

We provide a range of services that can be tailored to your specific needs. But what do you actually need? Some of the most common scenarios are:

DevOps culture

When transitioning to a DevOps culture, organizations must change their traditional methods of operating and their mindsets.

Generally, in a DevOps culture, both development and operations teams work collaboratively through frequent communication, breaking down traditional silos.

In some organizations, DevOps engineers may do both development and operations work. They always share the responsibilities with other teams, considering the entire development lifecycle. These engineers aim to increase the productivity and the quality of service to deliver the maximum value to their customers.

DevOps practices

Of course, DevOps isn’t only about communication and collaboration. DevOps best practices are aimed at helping you release software frequently, securely and with the highest quality. Prioritizing high efficiency, DevOps encourages the widespread use of automation tools to replace complex and error-prone manual tasks.

About Microsoft platforms

The number of different Microsoft platforms we’ve worked with is too detailed to list them all here. However, one offering that gets a lot of attention and is utilized on a number of different projects is Azure.

Cloud computing platforms, like Azure, tend to be less expensive and more secure, reliable, and flexible than on-premises servers. With the cloud, equipment downtime due to maintenance, theft, or damage is almost non-existent.

With the deep knowledge of Microsoft’s Cloud Platforms, Valtech is well suited to migrate your current system to Azure, or to build a new digital presence on the cloud all together.
