In today’s AI era, data is your competitive edge.
There has never been a more exciting time in technology, with AI creating entirely new ways to solve problems, engage customers, and work more efficiently.
However, most enterprises still struggle with siloed data, which stifles innovation, keeps vital insights locked away, and can reduce the value AI has across the business.
Discover a faster, smarter way to innovate
Google Cloud Cortex Framework accelerates your ability to unify enterprise data for connected insights, and provides new opportunities for AI to transform customer experiences, boost revenue, and reduce costs which can otherwise be hidden in your company’s data and applications.
Built on an AI-ready Data Cloud foundation, Cortex Framework includes what you need to design, build, and deploy solutions for specific business problems and opportunities including endorsed reference architectures and packaged business solution deployment content. In this blog, we provide an overview of Cortex Framework, and highlight some recent enhancements.
