At Spiral Data, we firmly believe in harnessing the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to drive tangible outcomes. Through our thoughtful application of cutting-edge technologies, we enable organisations to minimise risk, enhance operational efficiency, and gain a competitive edge. Leveraging our extensive expertise and experience, we offer a range of specialised services designed to cater to the unique needs of asset-intensive and data driven organisations. I guess you could say, we are big data.

Consulting: Our seasoned team of experts have over 50 years of collective experience, providing strategic guidance and advisory services, navigating organisations through the intricate landscape of AI and big data. By closely collaborating with clients, we gain a deep understanding of their challenges and develop customised solutions that align with their specific goals and objectives.

Data Science as a Service: With our state-of-the-art data science techniques, we offer the professional services of our skilled team of data scientists. This service empowers organisations to extract valuable insights, identify patterns, and make informed decisions based on data driven analysis using sophisticated algorithms.

IoT-to-AI Platform: Managing and analysing massive volumes of sensor data and then using AIML to drive deliver business value can be a daunting task. SpiralData treats data science as a creative endeavour that requires scientific, mathematical and statistical discipline supported by a battle-hardened platform. Our platform is set up in hours, and on day 1 can ingest data from diverse sources at scale. It includes an AI workbench for rapid algorithm selection, training and deployment. Its composable architecture means outputs can be via API or visualised so your team at-a-glance insights to enhance decision making. By harnessing the power of big data technologies, we help organisations unlock the full potential of their data assets. And we now offer our platform offline in a ruggedised briefcase for secure AIML at the edge.

What sets Spiral Data apart is our ability to execute end-to-end AIML and big data projects seamlessly. From data acquisition and preprocessing to model development and deployment, we possess the expertise and resources to handle every stage of the project lifecycle. Whether organisations require support for specific project phases or comprehensive managed services for their data analytics needs, Spiral Data delivers reliable and high-quality solutions.
