NCI Information Systems, Inc. (NCI) of Reston, VA announced on April 16 a strategic partnership with Tanjo, Inc., an award-winning machine learning (ML) company based in North Carolina. NCI will leverage Tanjo’s proprietary ML technology to infuse new data analytics capabilities into NCI’s artificial intelligence (AI) platform, Shai — Scaling Humans with Artificial Intelligence — to deliver real-time insights and actionable intelligence to federal customers.
“By augmenting our AI-as-a-service offering with Tanjo’s machine learning technology, NCI will broaden the capabilities we provide our government customers, especially around one of their greatest areas of need — data analytics,” said Paul Dillahay, president and CEO of NCI. “As the quantity of data being gathered across the federal government continues to surge, faster results, improved insight and more informed decision-making are paramount. Our collaboration with Tanjo will maximize the efficiency and value of our customers’ workforce and data strategies in this regard.”
Continuing its approach of bringing commercial technologies to the
government, NCI will enhance its Shai framework with Tanjo’s proven ML
technology, which studies the volume, velocity and variety of big data. The
NCI-Tanjo partnership will enrich human and machine interactions through AI and
ML solutions, resulting in the better harnessing of government data to learn
and improve mission outcomes.
“Tanjo is looking forward to the opportunity to apply our data-driven
machine learning to the work NCI is performing for its government customers,”
said Richard Boyd, CEO of Tanjo. “Our machine learning tools analyze massive
amounts of data swiftly and recognize patterns much faster than humans.
Combining this capability with NCI’s AI solution set will arm federal workers
with automated insight and access to collective knowledge, which they can use
every day to solve critical challenges.”
Boyd and NCI Chief Technology Officer Dr. Allen Badeau will present “The Simulation Century – the Big Leap from Big Data to Immersive Intelligence” at MODSIM World 2019 on April 22, 2019, in Norfolk, Virginia. The session will address the growing need for managing and optimizing the balance between humans and machines to achieve the greatest outcomes.
