AI Fabric: The Fastest Path to GenAI and the Data-Driven Enterprise

By Christian Buckner | Senior Vice President, Analytics and IoT Development | October 24, 2024

In today’s fast-paced data analytics landscape, organizations often find themselves caught between the exciting possibilities of new technologies and the hard truths of implementation challenges. While there’s a strong desire to harness automation, integrate artificial intelligence (AI), and make data-driven decisions, many companies encounter roadblocks along the way. From data trapped in outdated formats to the complex web of legacy systems built over decades of growth, the path to realizing a cohesive, unified data vision can feel daunting for many organizations.

Adding to this complexity is the emergence of generative AI (genAI), which presents both significant promise and new challenges. Unlike traditional machine learning, genAI requires a different approach to data that focuses on narratives, images, and human-centric information rather than the familiar rows and columns of conventional analytics.

 

Altair® RapidMiner®: Enterprise AI Fabric

Its modular design enables you to choose which components to adopt and when, ensuring a smooth transition without the disruption of a full-scale replacement. 

 

Future-Proofing Your Data Strategy

As technology evolves, many organizations face the challenge of maintaining established but aging systems. Instead of opting for a complete overhaul, we advocate for a bridge between past and future technologies. Altair RapidMiner supports ongoing investments in your existing data environments—be it SAS, mainframes, or other established systems—while introducing modern, open-source solutions. This approach not only preserves the value of your current investments but also positions you to take advantage of the market’s latest advancements. Truly, within today’s data analytics landscape, there is no other platform like Altair RapidMiner.
