Machine Learning

Automate the decisions that machines make best.

In most cases, data can be used to guide human decisions to great returns and without a large investment.

There are situations where the volume, velocity, and variety of data are such that no person could possibly discern the correct path forward. The value and scale of these decisions is such that optimization can produce massive returns for your business. Those are the cases where machine learning should be pursued.

In those cases, CorrDyn can help your company to:

  1. Define the business outcomes you want to achieve
  2. Determine whether machine learning is appropriate for your budget, use case, and expected return
  3. Develop a timeline, plan, and budget for your machine learning implementation
  4. Create a proof of concept to demonstrate the value of a selected system architecture
  5. Build a production pipeline to implement machine learning at scale, including data ingestion, data transformation, model prediction, model revision, and pipeline monitoring.

Machine learning encompasses tools that should be utilized selectively. When your company is ready for machine learning, the CorrDyn team can lead you down the path to ROI.

Our machine learning projects produce value.

CorrDyn was instrumental in building out various solutions that reduced back-office operations and allowed our teams to focus effort on more strategic revenue generating activities. We rely on them for their expertise across data and technology, reducing our need to make non-strategic hires to maintain systems. CorrDyn has been critical to our success, and we are extremely impressed by the value and quality of the work we receive.
