Maistering Enhances Artificial Intelligence Portfolio with Arria NLG

Arria' natural language generation offers scalability, flexibility and precision

Arria NLG, named a world leader in Natural Language Generation technology by Gartner, welcomed Maistering to the ever-growing list of partners using its award-winning platform.

After after vetting numerous NLG providers, Maistering, a global provider of artificial intelligence applications, selected Arria NLG Studio to augment its artificial intelligence portfolio, Master Collections.

Arria NLG turns data into voice and/or written narratives that enable better, more informed decision-making across an enterprise. Arria NLG Studio 3.0, the latest iteration of its natural language platform, combines advanced Language Analytics with computational linguistics to narrate and add context to any data.

Arria NLG Studio can convey actionable insights and tell your data's whole story," said Sharon Daniels, CEO, Arria NLG. "Our platform brings together language analytics and advanced mathematical functions for the specific purpose of turning data into insightful, actionable narratives that are relevant to the audience receiving the information."

Harnessing the full potential of analytics entails more than just knowledge discovery; it's about uncovering insights that lead decision-makers to take action.

According to Gartner, by 2025, data stories will be the most widespread way of consuming analytics, and 75 percent of stories will be automatically generated using augmented analytics.

Unlike other natural-language offerings, Arria is self-service, flexible and can interpret all structured data from spreadsheets, JSON files, or entire datasets underlying business intelligence (BI) dashboards.

Natural language generation is applicable in many use-cases; it automates the generation of corporate reports such as profit and loss statements, executive summaries and variance analyses.

NLG eliminates reporting challenges by automatically analyzing structured data, identifying important and useful information and creating contextual narratives that are almost indistinguishable from analyses authored by human experts.

The only disparity is that NLG gets this done in minutes, not days.

NLG augments data visualizations in TIBCO Spotfire, Tableau, Microsoft Power BI, Microsoft Excel, MicroStrategy, and other tools with explanatory narratives – analyses that drill down into structured data and uncover actionable insights faster.

For business intelligence dashboard users, natural language narratives augment data visualizations, clarifying insights with explanations in language anyone can understand.

For many firms, visualizations alone cannot tell data's full story. Actionable intelligence requires the combination of interactive data visualization with written and/or spoken narratives. These hybrid techniques deliver insights in a compelling, easily understood form for presentation to a broad base of decision makers.

This disparity between traditional and next-gen data resources is fueling demand for augment analytics.

NLG is a natural enabler for augmented analytics by virtue of its ability to automate the analysis and interpretation of all underlying structured data at scale to uncover and communicate insights in everyday, human language.

"Successful enterprises need ready-access insights that are as comprehensive as they are understandable," added Daniels. "With Arria NLG Studio, executives do not have to wait days or months for actionable insights that can improve organizational efficiency and profitability."

To deliver AI-powered solutions that meet the needs of enterprise executives, Maistering required an NLG solution that could integrate with its CXO Orchestration technology suite, Master Collections. Company executives recognized that users need tools to easily create narratives from both numeric and non-numeric information.

For Maistering customers, the ability to create custom narratives from complex data sets in real time delivers unprecedented value.

"From the very beginning, we recognized that to provide substantive value, to our niche audience, we needed the ability to convert large amounts of data and numeric information into simple and short narratives that can be consumed on-the-go, via text or voice.

"This also includes business intelligence and domain dashboards that need to be presented in a single narrative," said Maistering CEO, John Brahim.  "Arria NLG complements data visuals with written narratives containing contextual analysis that convey data's full story."

Headquartered in The Netherlands, Maistering's uniquely designed CXO lab is located in Amsterdam, an AI hotspot, and provides business leaders the opportunity to experience Master Collections hands-on and get inspired by the rich-curation of AI-services and contents.

"Innovation to augment corporate leaders in their business Journeys leads is in our DNA," added John. "Our goal is to inspire magical business journeys and true leadership, through rich curation of AI-services and contents."

Arria's powerful NLG technology brings knowledge to business leaders by automating large datasets, reports and information to produce actionable & insightful narratives, on-demand."
