2. Build
We have been building digital products since we started in 2015. Augment can build your digital product or application from beginning to end. Often AI is just a small piece of the entire application. The user experience, and usefulness of the final application, will often determine if the project is successful.
Here is more on how we build for each of these areas:
AI
After going through our AI strategy, finding the best use AI use case, we start to build. To properly build an application with AI, you need all three of the below (Cloud + Data + Microservices/Software). AI does not live on its own. It is a part of an application. The cloud and data pieces need to be properly structured and set up. And the microservices/software needs to be built well so that the AI piece can flourish.
Cloud
Augment helps select and architect the best cloud implementation for your specific needs.
Data
Depending on your needs, Augment can help scope, architect and implement a large data platform (lake-house) for enterprises consisting of billions of records down to a small dashboard prototype bringing together data from multiple sources.
Microservice/Software Creation
Software is what brings the entire experience and function together. This is what we have been building since 2015. Once we understand what you want to build we start putting stories and sprints. We usually work in 2 week sprints using the agile methodology. We work closely with our clients for creating stories, sprint schedules and testing to make sure everyone is on the same page. This communication is essential to ensure a project is successful.
