Why Enterprise Intelligence is transformative

by Kaitlin Ashley4 min readAugust 17, 2023

In today’s era of cloud computing and SaaS sprawl, businesses generate data and information at an unprecedented rate. Within it lies valuable insights and knowledge that could be pivotal for critical decision-making and innovation, all of which drives growth. However, much of this knowledge remains inaccessible, scattered across hundreds of applications and repositories.

Enterprise Intelligence is a new category of technology that is poised to revolutionize how businesses access and leverage all this information and how employees engage with the business. It is made possible by the rapid advances in AI which allow the system to retrieve, analyze, and present any piece of information almost instantly, on request.

Common use cases

There are myriad potential use cases for this technology but, for most businesses, they fall into one of the following categories:

  • Employee information - Source information about your workforce or find the go-to person for help, depending on their role, expertise, or experience.

  • Communication - Locate information from conversations you’ve had across any of your communication channels, including email, instant messaging and more. 

  • Collaboration - Understand the real-time status, progress, and ownership of projects and tasks across your organization. 

  • Document and files - Find any file, document, or artifact across all your systems, no matter where it’s stored. 

  • Department Specific information - Generate live insights about your sales pipeline, customer base, and suppliers.

Why AI is critical

Enterprise Intelligence is made possible due to the latest advances in AI, which enable a number of significant advantages as compared to traditional search tools:

  • Contextual understanding & enrichment - AI enables an understanding of the context behind a query using information about a user and the organization. This helps discern what a user is looking for, and where the information is located, without using very specific instructions. When formulating responses, the AI is also able to provide additional relevant context beyond the direct scope of the answer which the user may be unaware of, as well as suggesting further searches or actions that might be useful. 

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP) - Most people prefer querying systems in natural language, rather than carefully structured requests. AI-driven NLP facilitates this by understanding, processing, and responding to human language, making interactions much more intuitive.

  • Pattern recognition - Generative AI models are adept at learning patterns and nuances within large datasets. This enables them to understand user behavior, preferences, intent and anticipate future queries based on past interactions.  

Business impact

Enterprise Intelligence platforms such as Qatalog offer a host of transformative benefits. For organizations looking to drive growth while creating operational efficiencies, the potential impact is clear and compelling:

  • Create big time savings - Instead of wasting hours searching for information across multiple platforms or applications, employees now have a single source for all their informational needs that anyone can use with zero training.
