Algorithms for a better world
In 1988 Aplicaciones en Informática Avanzada, AIA, was created for building algorithms for a better world. Keeping this idea in mind, it began developing innovative solutions to companies to face current challenging problems thanks to the creation of a unique method based on a diversity of thought.
This ability empowers AIA to transfer basic science (Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science) to the business world through state-of-the-art technologies for the development of innovative models and solutions to business problems.
The team
The multidisciplinary and diverse team consists of experienced professionals (PhDs, Masters) in Science, Technology, Engineer, Arts, Physics, Math that combines all areas of human knowledge to achieve the best and more complete solutions. This makes Grupo AIA a one of kind company in its sector.
Grupo AIA is deeply committed to its team highest quality training. It knows that only by encouraging the value of knowledge it will be able to provide the best solutions to face current complex challenges. Takes part in collaborative research projects and innovative solutions that are at the forefront for efficient and effective solutions to achieve measurable business benefits.
AIA´s Customers
Grupo AIA´s close relationship with customers is the most effective way to face current challenges. Grupo AIA´s customer-driven philosophy makes it work closely together with decision-makers, CEOs and C-Suites to design strategies and tactics based on Advanced Analytics and Artificial Intelligence.
During the last 30 years, Grupo AIA has earned customers´ trust by offering these strategic industrial sectors: energy, retail, textile, telecommunication, media, banking and insurance sectors innovative and business value solutions to face the toughest corporate challenges building a special relationship with its customers.
Grupo AIA is also deeply involved in a rigorous quality process management and continuous improvement, having been awarded since 2010 ISO 9001:2008 certification, and more recently 9001:2015 Certificate.
AIA's Group
Grupo AIA started operations in the United States in 2001, with EleQuant, a San Francisco based company created for this purpose and focused mainly on energy products and services supply. After being granted several patents and carrying out significant updating and improvement to its line of products, EleQuant was relaunched in 2016 to provide solutions to the national and regional transmission and distribution operators as well as to organizations involved in Grid network management in North America. EleQuant, Inc. is a subsidiary company of Grupo AIA.
EQ-KIDS (EleQuant Knowledge Innovation Data Science) founded in the U.S. by EleQuant Inc in 2016, holding 49% property, aimed at taking advantage of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence opportunities in the U.S.
Knowledge Areas
Using conventional methods, genetic algorithms, neural networks, algorithms A*, physical models (simulated annealing), Monte Carlo´s method.
Development of methods for knowledge modeling and representation
Neural networks, pattern recognition, time series analysis and symbolic context information analysis, among others.
Grupo AIA has built years of experience in the analysis and construction of transmission and distribution grid models throughout the world and has contributed to building a knowledge base.
Intelligent Observation Systems
Detection engine based on a knowledge hierarchical concept structure to interface with transactional systems in real time in environments such as for money-laundering detection.
Social networks modeling, community evolution analysis, communication optimization through social networks.
Development of not supervised segmentation models and characterization of large volume of individuals through marketing applications.
Customer relationship model
Grupo AIA is a business project focused company that not only applies. breakthrough technology but, above all, strives hard to understand their customers´ problems to meet their real needs. Aiming at permanent solutions to these challenges, Grupo AIA seeks to extract economic value from companies´ large volume of data so that these companies can provide added value to their stakeholders, get at the forefront of their industries and increase their competitive advantage.
For AIA, it´s essential to incorporate the knowledge of decision-makers of different business areas to AIA´s experience in advanced analytics and Big Data technology. It´s clear that only by working together that more accurate solutions can be achieved.
Selecting project type and approach.
- Project objectives: clarity and knowledge of project objectives.
- Information: quality and suitability of available information for the project.
- Organization: organization´s capacity for project ´s results application and exploitation.
- Methodology/technology: degree of existence and stability of the methods and technologies for the project´s development and solutions.
The degree of maturity of each one of the factors impacting on the success of a Big Data Project indicates the type of relationship to be approached.
Grupo AIA sets different types of partnership with its customers based on their needs:
SPECIFIC PROJECTS
Short-term customized projects with immediate business impact. Customers can develop their own work teams based on knowledge gained through projects developed with their own real information.
Projects go through a maturity process of the methodologies and customers information flow management for a better understanding of customers real needs and avoid silo thinking among the Business, IT and Business Intelligence.
This relationship helps validating one or several factors impacting on the project (objective, technology, organization and information) are suitable and avoid uncertainties that may hinder the correct definition of the project.
STABLE TEAMS/BPO
This management model is suitable for specific projects, metrics and short-term targets. Starts with the creation of stable data scientists work teams who give support to the technical and project management and data engineering teams who help with the models integration into the company´s structure and give transversal support to facilitate data collection and analysis.
Project work and stable teams allow data scientists to gain continuous business knowledge that makes them more proactive and prepared to provide the solutions to meet customers´ needs.
The greater advantage of this team model is that stable teams is cost-saving due to resources optimization and the reduction of individual projects contracts.
JOINT VENTURES
The relationship between Grupo AIA and its customers through Joint Ventures is the highest possible degree of business relationship. This is particularly recommended for companies where team creation is complex or not very effective. Joint Venture agreements give AIA the capacity to provide recruiting services, technical management or training to make sure data scientists´ knowledge is adapted to the customers´ specific needs.
The creation of specialized data analytics teams enables to improve in innovation and to specialize personnel recruiting and training in customers area or sector.
This stable, and long lasting relationship has helped AIA to achieve significant progress in diverse sectors such as banking (risk and pricing models, anti-money laundering detection products, cash management or cyber security improvements products), retail (promotion models, shop/cashier activity models) or energy (waste analysis, consumption forecasting, Smart Grids management).
