EnterWorks Announces Sponsorship Investment in the Artificial Intelligence Lab at the Retail Analytics Council (RAC)
STERLING, Va. (PRWEB) May 29, 2018 -- EnterWorks, a leading provider of Master Data Management (MDM) and Product Information Management (PIM), announced today that it is increasing its investment in Artificial Intelligence and will extend its support for AI at the Retail Analytics Council (RAC), which hosted the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Conference last month.
The RAC is on the forefront of research in key areas affecting the retail industry, such as understanding the relationship between online behavior and in-store purchases, RFID, Robotics, and Big Data analytics. It counts among its Advisory Board members EnterWorks’ CEO Rick Chavie and many leading retailers, and provides exceptional insights into challenges facing the retail community – drawing from data provided by retail members.
“We are pleased to contribute to the development of the RAC as the leading retail research center that is transforming analytics and technology challenges into pragmatic insights for retailers, converging advanced science with actual retail operations,” said Rick Chavie. “With EnterWorks’ master data platform, our customers can combine multiple master data domains, such as channels, customers, products, and location, in mapping to operational performance. However, the RAC research insights accelerate access to value, from immediate application of insights as well as fine-tuning our investment road map in artificial intelligence.”
At last fall’s annual RAC meeting at Northwestern University’s campus, EnterWorks presented on Five Principles for Creating an Intelligence Factory in positioning its platform and strategy for the practical linking of artificial and assisted intelligence with MDM to improve critical business decisions.
“The growth of the RAC’s research scope and member base has been gratifying, and reflects the interest that retailers have in the adoption of new technologies to compete in the rapidly changing, digitized retail market,” said Steven Keith Platt, Research Director for the RAC and Director of the Platt Retail Institute. “As traditional retailing practices falter in adapting to the competitive challenges from new retailing models, the key to competitive success lies in embedding and scaling new technologies, such as artificial intelligence. As a founding sponsor, EnterWorks believes in our mission of helping retailers tackle such technology challenges, and we appreciate their support and contribution.”
