Ikigai Labs announced the availability of its AI platform in the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, an online store providing applications and services for use on Azure.

Ikigai Labs customers can now take advantage of the productive and trusted Azure cloud platform with streamlined deployment and management.

Ikigai’s AI application platform is built on its patented Large Graphical Models (LGM) - aiMatch, aiCast and aiPlan - to deliver powerful time series AI applications for data reconciliation, forecasting and planning. The Ikigai platform also enables eXpert-in-the-loop (Xitl) for reinforcement learning and refinement at scale. These core capabilities applied to time series AI applications make every enterprise decision about supply, demand, product, people and budgets faster, more affordable and more accessible than ever before.

Customers experience benefits, including:

- Deploying time series applications in any interface or business process with Ikigai’s API-first approach.

- Time to value is faster and simpler, eliminating inefficiencies associated with model building and training, testing and deployment.

- Training and operating the models on organizational data eliminates data risk and reduces training and ongoing expense.

- In-context explainability of key features, patterns and data impacts empowers experts to validate, interpret, refine and connect insights to business actions.

"Given the uncertainty in today’s business environment coupled with escalating macro-economic challenges, companies that can forecast, plan and calibrate their business to reflect up-to-the-moment internal and external signals will gain massive competitive advantage over those that stay within their orthodoxies,” said Kamal Ahluwalia, president of Ikigai Labs. “Until now, the last mile was surfacing internal data. Our announcement of Ikigai’s native availability on the Azure Marketplace connects our company’s vision to bring generative AI for enterprise tabular and time series data to new and existing Microsoft customers, helping them reach their business's full potential without data acquisition effort.”

The Azure Marketplace is an online market for buying and selling cloud solutions certified to run on Azure. The Azure Marketplace helps connect companies seeking innovative, cloud-based solutions with partners who have developed solutions that are ready to use.
