Microsoft at
its Worldwide
Partner Conference in Orlando, announced
the Cortana
Analytics Suite. It takes the company’s machine learning, big
data and analytics products and packages them together in one huge, monolithic
suite.
Microsoft
has put together the suite with the hope of providing a one-stop, big data and
analytics solution for enterprise customers.
“Our goal
was to bring integration of these pieces so customers have a comprehensive platform
to build intelligent solutions,” Joseph Sirosh, corporate vice president at
Microsoft, who is in charge of Azure ML told TechCrunch
As for
Cortana, which is the Microsoft voice-driven personal assistant tool in
Windows 10, it’s a small part of the solution, but Sirosh says Microsoft named
the suite after it because it symbolizes the contextualized intelligence
that the company hopes to deliver across the entire suite.
It
includes pieces like Azure ML,
the company’s cloud machine learning product, PowerBI,
its data visualization tool and Azure Data
Catalog, a service announced just last week designed for
sharing and surfacing data stores inside a company, among others. It hopes to
take advantage of range of technologies such as face and speech
recognition to generate a series of solutions like recommendation engines and
churn forecasting.
