History
The origin of enableAI goes back to 2012 as Salix Alba Solutions, which offered predictive modelling services to measure and mitigate external financial markets risk for clients. In 2015 the business split into two parts:
(i) Predictive modelling consulting services &
(ii) A fintech start-up called "investfit" (investment optimisation software) which was sold to Open Markets Group in 2021.
Building predictive modelling software tools for clients has been our mainstay for over 10 years.
Today the focus is on enabling AI within the SME business community using processes and systems learned through working within large enterprise, but do it a lot more affordably.
In practice, "enablement" means firstly to provide the client with the framework to recognise how AI tools may lift performance. And secondly to provide the specialist skills required to design, build and deliver AI driven tools. Our priority is to support the client to be self sufficient at using AI tools while we will host and maintain the tooling if asked to.
Importantly, our client projects are delivered in consultation with an Advisory Panel providing objective advice applicability, efficacy and ethics. This panel is made up of technical and industry experts with significant track records at building AI driven solutions for large enterprise and industry best practice.
