Scalable Solutions that Deliver Game-Changing Results

For many organizations, the road to digital transformation can seem overwhelming, with buzzwords like supply chain optimization, natural language processing, and scheduling optimization. For Mosaic, however, ML, AI, data science, and predictive analytics are more than buzzwords. Breaking down large initiatives into bite-sized chunks simplifies the enormous task of building and deploying actionable analytics solutions. This guided approach allows organizations to fully realize the potential of every ML/AI approach through every stage of their digitalization journey.

A typical engagement begins with an extensive interview and exploratory data analysis to bring out nuances and statistical measures in the data that influence what algorithms to test. This is followed by rapid prototyping of various algorithms-to reach the desired results using different evaluation criteria, shrinking prediction time to weeks or months, not years. Based on the results, a custom model is built that is unique to the client’s data, processes, and environment, helps achieve a clear-cut ROI, and drives its competitive edge. The ML/AI model is then deployed and monitored with inference, feedback, and baseline data, going back to phase one and building with usability in mind. Mosaic’s AI Labs specialize in computer vision, natural language processing, scheduling optimization, and supply chain optimization. Each lab was created to help organizations design and deploy the most advanced custom AI solutions at scale.
Beyond AI and ML model development, Mosaic’s team of experts establishes processes for effective monitoring and optimization so these models can be maintained in the best condition. Once continuous monitoring processes are planned and implemented, issues like data drift, inefficiencies, and bias can be detected and rectified. Mosaic Data Science removes the friction from AI/ML development and deployment while enabling fast iterations, limitless scaling, and customizable infrastructure.

Hands-On Support from the Industry’s Top Data Scientists

As the appetite for ML and AL grows, there is a continuing need for data scientists. According to the recent KPMG CIO Survey, nearly half (46 percent) of CIOs said they suffered from an analytics skills shortage, followed by a shortage in AI skills at 38 percent.

The speed of technology, coupled with the rapid deployment of AI tools across every sector, has created a situation where the demand for skilled professionals far outstrips the supply. As more organizations integrate AI/ ML into their decision-making processes, they need data scientists with skills around particular tool-technique-use cases.

In response to this market need, Mosaic seeks to help clients fight this talent shortage by providing quick, flexible access to its world-class team of data scientists.

It has launched its popular staff augmentation service, Rent a Data Scientist Program™ (RaDS), to identify client needs and match them with the best data scientist to effectively and efficiently develop solutions.
