1. Can you introduce your company and the solutions/services you offer to businesses in the IT/Cybersecurity field? 

Straive operationalizes the data value chain. That means we create custom data & AI solutions, going beyond rigid product implementations. But Straive also provides the human in the loop to validate and act as the SME. We help IT teams grow their teams' skills and numbers. We also help them beyond technology – for support and manual interventions.

2. What sets your solutions apart from others in the market, and how do they address the specific needs and challenges faced by IT/Cybersecurity leaders today? 

Three things.

1. Human-in-the-Loop Expertise. We’re an IT + Analytics + KPO organization that can solve the problem end-to-end

2. We bridge the gap between data and business. We understand IT challenges and business imperatives. Our SMEs take less time from business leaders since they are already familiar with the domain's problems.

3. Global scalability. We’re a team of ~18,000 people covering the Philippines, India, South Africa, Nicaragua, and more.

3. Can you share any success stories or case studies where your solutions have made a significant impact on a company? 

• Case Study 1: Data Stratgey

Integrated District Data System from 700 Countries for the Michigan State Department of Education

The Michigan State Department of Education needed to integrate data from 700 countries into a common hub. Straive helped this client with the Michigan Data Hub, which is a standards-based solution to integrate disjoint district data systems. This system aggregated district-collected data, fueling the MiRead Early Learning Portal. 

• Case Study 2: Decision Intelligence

Reduced Annual Detention Costs by $1.2M for a US Refrigerated Warehouse and Logistics Company

Straive helped a refrigerated warehouse and logistics providers with an intelligent appointment scheduler to reduce outbound truck turn times and avoid detention charges. We used machine learning  algorithms to enable the scheduler to suggest an appointment based on their impacts. 

• Case Study 3: Knowledge Packetization

Decrease Downtime by 40% for a Medical Equipment Manufacturer 

Straive helped a medical equipment manufacturer consolidate and annotate data from various sources, such as device manuals and repair logs, to create 'Knowledge assets.' It comprises 90 different repair pathways, and it enables faster issue resolution. 

• Case Study 4: AI for Productivity 

Enhanced Productivity by 30% for a Global Risk Management Firm

Straive implemented an advanced AI solution leveraging a knowledge graph, prompt engineering, precise evaluation models, audit trails, rigorous regression testing, and a framework for GenAI. We also implemented a rapid development approach for the client to move from POC to pilot and production.

4. In your opinion, what roles should pioneers in the industry play in building the future of the digital economy? 

Pioneers in the industry should strive to be:

1. Risk takers and enablers. They have a responsibility to push the boundaries of technology and advocate for policies that support fast-paced innovation.

2. Disruptors at scale. By solving real life problems and disrupting inefficiencies in the market, they can redefine our standards.

3. Sustainable architects. They must design businesses built to last and preserve society and the environment, committing to the long term over the short term.

5. As a solution provider, what are the 3 key takeaways or learnings do you hope attendees will gain from interacting with your company during the event?

1. The Power of a Unified Data Approach:  Attendees will understand how a holistic approach to data strategy, governance, and analytics is the key to accelerating transformation and navigating volatility. Straive will demonstrate how breaking down data silos fosters innovation, security, and resilience.

2. Generating Insights from Data:  Straive will showcase how to turn data into actionable insights that drive business outcomes, fostering a growth mindset even in uncertain times. Attendees will learn about practical solutions for streamlining operations, optimizing processes, and driving informed decision-making.

3. The Value of Human Expertise in a Technology-Driven World: Straive will emphasize the importance of our "human-in-the-loop" approach. Attendees will see how combining subject matter expertise with cutting-edge AI and analytics delivers the quality and trust essential for success.  We'll show how this model ensures comprehensive and tailored solutions.

By interacting with Straive, attendees will leave equipped with a fresh perspective on data as a strategic asset capable of fostering innovation, growth, and resilience in the ever-changing digital economy.

6. Finally, can you share any upcoming developments or innovations in your solutions/services that attendees should be excited about?

Attendees should be excited about techniques they can learn & apply in AI that address real-world challenges. Here are some areas of innovation:

Document Consumption reimagined: The way we consume movies and music has transformed in the last 50 years, but the way we consume text hasn’t changed much in the last 500. We share new ways to read and understand articles, books, and feedback.

Scientific Knowledge Unlocking: In the scientific and life sciences domain, we're leveraging Generative AI to enhance discovery, search, and classification capabilities across vast knowledge repositories, accelerating insights and innovation.

Customer Service Transformation: We're deploying AI to empower rapid issue identification, investigation, and resolution within customer service environments. Our technology will power faster, more personalised service interactions.

Straive is committed to delivering innovations that not only impress but directly solve business problems and unlock new opportunities. We're eager to share these developments with attendees and explore how they can generate value within their organizations.
