SAKS Analytics in new partnership with global automation provider, AntWorks
View(s):SAKS Analytics, a subsidiary of SAKS Global and the St. Anthony’s Industries Group – one of Sri Lanka’s largest and oldest conglomerates, has announced a breakthrough partnership with global artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent automation company, AntWorks, in a bid to introduce disruptive innovation in automation, in Sri Lanka.
Leveraging AntWorks’ global automation expertise, the two companies are now working to introduce hybrid technological solutions in Sri Lanka that seamlessly blend multiformat intelligent data ingestion with cognitive capabilities and code free Robotic Process Automation powered by artificial intelligence to automate the back office and middle office seamlessly, SAKS Analytics said in a media release.
“Today’s agreement with AntWorks represents a bold and vital step forward in this vision that promises to usher in the same kind of hard-nosed, data-driven approach to business that we see taking hold across the region,” SAKS Analytics Managing Director, Jeevan Gnanam, said.
In addressing unstructured data, AntWorks has redefined the current landscape of the automation industry. Its proprietary platform, ANTstein is the first and only, intelligent, integrated, end-to-end automation platform available in the market today. It is the only data ingestion technology that does not use OCR and is built on the principles of fractal science.
The relationship between AntWorks and SAKS Analytics has been a long-standing one with preliminary discussions on their partnership having commenced in 2016. A start-up that is headquartered out of Singapore, AntWorks is now present in four continents with development centres in India and in the US with plans to open delivery centres in Singapore, London, and the Philippines shortly.
“Driven by the principle of ‘customer first,’ we strive to be at Zero Distance to our customers to enable fast and fearless delivery of fresh technologies, this partnership with SAKS Analytics enables rapid adoption of our solutions in Sri Lanka, while maintaining Zero Distance from our customers,” said Asheesh Mehra – Co-Founder and Group CEO of AntWorks.
