How Dataworkz Democratizes Access to AI and Data Analytics
Dataworkz, a company based in Milpitas, California, aims to simplify AI-driven decision making by offering an easy-to-understand user interface for its no-code, high-performance cloud service that unifies data, transformations, and AI for business users. The platform is designed to enable the creation of AI-based applications and focuses on addressing challenges related to preparing data for machine learning initiatives, such as obtaining availability of data to run algorithms against and managing software integration problems due to multiple teams and applications involved in bringing in data and combining it all at scale. Dataworkz's solution involves unifying data processing and AI into a single experience offered as a service, allowing business end users to go from understanding the data to transforming it and running machine learning algorithms on it within one platform. The company has multiple production deployments with customers in high tech, legal services, life science, and more, focusing initially on sales and marketing applications. Dataworkz uses Apache Cassandra for its multi-modal persistence layer that includes Cassandra, relational, and graph databases, and has migrated to DataStax Astra DB for a column store due to its ease of setup, strong security features, global availability, scalability, and consumption-based pricing model. The company is excited about democratizing access to enterprise AI and data-driven decision making tools, allowing business users to run data transformations in a secure manner without needing to go through the IT team for each new request or modification.
