The challenge: Enabling timely, informed decisions

Executives and business leaders need an intuitive and user-friendly platform to find the data and insights they can trust, to support strategic decisions and shape the future of their organizations. However, the sheer volume and complexity of information available can often overwhelm and hinder the decision-making process. HolonIQ recognized this challenge and built a solution to streamline data access and interpretation. Now, with the help of AWS, they’re taking their platform to the next level. HolonIQ worked with AWS’s Product Acceleration team to harness the power of generative AI and NLP to transform the user experience and launch the HolonIQ Advanced Insights Engine.

The solution: HolonIQ Advanced Insights Engine

At the core of HolonIQ’s Advanced Insights Engine is the integration of advanced AI and NLP capabilities. These technologies enable users to search for proprietary data and insights using everyday conversational language. Additionally, the platform’s ability to learn user preferences and behaviors helps to proactively surface the most relevant results, streamlining the research and decision-making process.

Leveraging AWS services for enhanced capabilities

HolonIQ’s strategic alliance with AWS has been instrumental in the development and optimization of the Advanced Insights Engine. By adopting AWS services and AI and machine learning (ML) technologies, HolonIQ has been able to build a scalable, cost-efficient, and highly flexible solution that delivers the right data and insights to its customers faster.

The platform’s use of Amazon OpenSearch Service and the generative AI solution, Amazon Bedrock, has been particularly impactful. The integration of these services enables powerful hybrid search capabilities, allowing the platform to serve more relevant results by capturing the user’s intent beyond basic keyword matching. Furthermore, the use of large language models (LLMs) in Amazon Bedrock enhances the relevance and accuracy of the proprietary information provided to customers, and ensures HolonIQ is able to leverage the latest models as they become available.

Designed to be easy and transparent

The platform’s streamlined user experience provides an intuitive interface and personalized content recommendations, with clear differentiation between AI-generated and curated HolonIQ content to ensure a transparent user experience. Coupled with the platform’s dynamic content generation capabilities and seamless integration with HolonIQ’s proprietary data sources, the platform provides customers with a unified view of the education, climate tech, and health markets. This transformative solution empowers customers to make more informed strategic choices and unlock the power of data-driven decision-making.

Building at pace

AWS enabled HolonIQ to bring their product vision to life in an unprecedented timeframe. In less than two months, the team was able to define a customer obsessed product vision using Amazon’s Working Backwards process and launch a minimum viable product (MVP). This speed of development was made possible by the expertise and resources of the AWS team, who worked closely with HolonIQ to ensure that the platform’s core functionalities and user experience were built on a solid foundation of AWS technologies and that the most advanced generative AI solutions were adapted for the specific needs of the platform. This agile approach allowed HolonIQ to quickly iterate and refine the platform, ensuring that it met the evolving needs of their customers.

The future of education intelligence

The strategic alliance between HolonIQ and AWS has paved the way for a new era of data-driven decision-making for HolonIQ customers.
