This alliance will make it possible to define and deploy joint projects in the field of data use. They will rely on Artefact’s expertise in data consulting and AI solutions, whose MLOps* methodologies facilitate scaling up, as well as on the innovative technological bricks of IBM’s Cloud Pak for Data platform. The latter is built with a data matrix architecture linking siloed data to improve productivity and reduce complexity. The technological bricks also make it possible to exploit the best of IBM’s fundamental knowledge, particularly on the subjects of operational research and the ethical use of data.<\/p>\n
Thus, the partnership exploits the best of both areas of expertise for the benefit of client companies: on one hand, IBM’s advanced technologies, whose Cloud Pak for Data platform<\/strong> integrates more than 70 innovative software bricks, and on the other hand, the mastery progress of Artefact in data science, from the strategy to the operational deployment integrated into the IS of the customers, and this until the training. Thanks to the company\u2019s problem-solving techniques at the intersection of data, AI technology and business, Artefact\u2019s unique know-how makes it possible to enhance IBM’s technological bases in order to maximize the return on investment of organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div> For \u00c9ric Haddad, Vice-President Strategy & Ecosystem Acceleration of IBM France: <\/b>\u201cWe are delighted with this partnership with a player whose business approach and methodology allows IBM technology customers to benefit from state-of-the-art support in setting up their decision-making processes and integrating ethics in their procedures. Artefact and IBM are two companies keen to provide their customers with the most innovative solutions, and for this, we will also join forces in the field of research.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div> To inaugurate this partnership, Artefact and IBM have developed two new offers:<\/p>\n<\/div> – Operational research:<\/b> Today, many companies are developing decision rules based on data and machine learning to predict sales or risks, plan the production of goods, or even improve a pricing and promotional policy. With the IBM Decision Optimization Center<\/a> (CPLEX) technology, Artefact will enable these companies to\u00a0<\/span>complete their approach with a “prescriptive” analysis, or operational research, to facilitate their implementation (geographic distribution of the production and distribution of goods according to demand, optimization of marketing budget allocation, yield management in the tourism sector, etc.)<\/span><\/p>\n – Data ethics<\/b>: the issue of machine learning model biases has become major. This is why Artefact places ethics at the heart of its corporate values \u200b\u200band has drafted a charter on data ethics in ten fundamental principles<\/a>. With IBM’s Open Source Python Artificial Intelligence Fairness 360<\/a> (AIF 360) library, Artefact can detect and correct biases potentially produced by AI models.<\/p>\n<\/div> According to <\/strong>Vincent Luciani, CEO of Artefact<\/strong>:\u201cWe will increase our use of cutting-edge IBM technologies in order to design innovative solutions from end to end of the enterprise value chain. The IBM certification of our Artefact teams guarantees optimized use of their Cloud Pak for Data technology platform and their many proven algorithms available in open source. We are very pleased to strengthen our ties with IBM and to strengthen the collaboration between our data science experts and MLOps in order to stimulate an ethical and sustainable vision with our common customers in the deployment of their data & AI projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div> The two players share a common ambition: beyond the tangible business results that result from these data transformation projects, the objective is to also provide them with an environmental and societal dimension, which is virtuous thanks to the ethical use of data.<\/span><\/p>\n This long-term partnership between IBM and Artefact will continue to be enriched with new offers in the field of data use, particularly in the service of accelerating the ecological transition. Finally, the two companies aim to extend their agreements beyond France, particularly in North America and Asia<\/b>, in order to meet the transformation challenges of their customers on an international scale.<\/p>\n<\/div> About Artefact<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div> Artefact is an international data services company, specializing in data transformation and data & digital marketing consulting, whose mission is to transform data into businesses that create business impact by delivering tangible results on the entire business value chain.<\/p>\n Artefact’s unique approach, which bridges the gap between data and business, allows our clients to achieve their business objectives in a dedicated and efficient way.
