The future of Generative AI

Our team have been market leaders in Data & AI for 6 years and have significant experience in what is now considered 'traditional' AI and Machine Learning. While Data and 'traditional' AI remain highly valuable, the future is most certainly Generative AI.  

Empowering AI  

Unlike ‘traditional’ AI approaches that rely on predefined rules and datasets, Generative AI has the remarkable ability to generate new content, making it highly adaptable and versatile. It opens up a world of possibilities from automating mundane tasks to unlocking new creative potential. More significantly, the barrier of entry for use is low  

Microsoft’s significant investment in Open AI has given Microsoft a significant competitive edge in the use of Large Language Models (LLMs), so that people can do more with less. LLMs can help automate processes that were difficult to automate before and allow less skilled people to do tasks that they couldn’t do in the past.  

Integrating Copilots  

On top of a Generative AI approach, the integration of copilots can allow users to enhance their experience in self-service analytics, for example, automating the report-building process. This not only saves time but also enables less experienced individuals to leverage advanced analytics capabilities, democratising access to AI-driven insights.  

As a leading partner for Microsoft across Australia and New Zealand, we have had access to PowerBI Copilot from the Redmond product team as part of the global Fabric featured partners group. We've had immense success with the Microsoft built copilots for PowerBI, D365 and PowerApps, but equally a lot of success building custom Copilots.  

Agile Delivery and Ongoing Support

Central to our approach is empowering end-users to interact meaningfully with their data. Through workshops and collaborative sessions, we elicit processes that fit the capability of copilots as well as have demonstratable business value.  

We adopt an agile delivery model, typically delivering solution blueprints driven by use cases to deliver value within a few sprints. We often stop development, assessing the output, with this approach allowing the customer to get value, then re-engage to refine the solution for other use cases. This approach allows us to prioritise features, gather feedback, and rapidly iterate on solutions to ensure they meet customers' evolving needs.  

Post-implementation we can support using a retainer model, allowing customers to have ongoing advice and development support for their OpenAI platforms over 12, 24 and 36 month periods. We find this to be an effective way of collaborating and empowering our customers' internal teams and maximising the value of your Generative AI investments in the long term.  

Focused Solutions  

Our approach is to focus on industries where we know the most. Utilities, Not for Profits, Local and State Government, and Financial Services are leading the way for us. We've also made significant strides in industries such as Property and Construction, Media, Hospitality, and Entertainment. This industry approach allows us to build a catalogue of use cases that are industry specific, as well as leveraging the key use cases into other industries. In all scenarios, we lead with the use case, and we keep data at the heart of the solution. Our solutions are all focused on enabling and empowering end users to talk to their data.  

At Data Addiction, we are proud to be a part of this with Microsoft. As leaders in Microsoft Data and AI in the Australia and New Zealand region, we specialise in guiding businesses through the intricacies of Generative AI. From creating tender writing bots to automating data ingestion, our solutions powered by OpenAI and Copilots unlock endless possibilities for businesses.
