Black Knight Launches the Developer Portal to Improve Client Integration and Productivity

On January 12, 2023, Black Knight, Inc. announced the launch of its new Developer Portal, a one-stop storefront that will allow clients, third-party providers, and their developers to access the company's application program interfaces (APIs) catalog across the mortgage life cycle. APIs reveal business functionality and client data that are neatly packaged into reusable services that adhere to industry-standard protocols and norms to facilitate integration. By utilizing Black Knight's APIs, clients can seamlessly embed additional functionality into their applications, which can help facilitate intuitive and frictionless user experience journeys.

As an adjunct to Black Knight's commitment to delivering new innovation and seamless connections to the market, the Developer Portal offers a central repository of documentation explaining the application connections that Black Knight offers. This catalog of APIs includes web APIs, webhooks, web services, and other integration tools. The Developer Portal also consists of a self-service interface through which clients can search for and explore API specifications, product overviews, user guides, implementation documentation, and other relevant materials.

The Developer Portal is a core component of Black Knight's "API-first" approach, through which products are developed and enhanced using the power of APIs. This approach expedites Black Knight's ability to introduce innovative solutions to the market as fast as possible for the benefit of clients. By offering easy, self-service access to the API catalog and all essential tooling, the Developer Portal enables clients to innovate further by rapidly integrating their apps and data to help accomplish their desired business outcomes.

While the Developer Portal presently contains API documentation for Black Knight's servicing technologies, this information is being actively expanded to include APIs across the mortgage life cycle.

Quantive | February 27, 2023

Quantive, the premier strategy execution platform, recently introduced new AI-based advancements to help firms excel at strategic initiatives. These new features, which use generative AI via large learning models (LLMs), are the first of several business plans to make its flagship product, Quantive Results, smarter.

Provides AI-based suggestions based on user experience and real-time feedback on entered data Guidance - New, intelligent workflows that use the information to improve user experience and results. This includes everything from an OKR wizard to a pre-compiled check-in or retrospective process for the user Observations - Adds context to displayed data. Benchmarks, predictions, quality grades, anomalies, and dynamic replies to "Which critical results are most at risk for this session?" In the past year, Quantive Results has transitioned from a platform that helps businesses create and track goals to one that helps them achieve them. Quantive Results’ new intelligence capabilities include: Overcome OKRs "cold start" challenge – The users need assistance in determining high-level goals or corporate strategy objectives. Quantive's AI will assist users in refining their goals, examining additional or complementary vital outcomes, and arranging tasks to get started faster Identify required initiatives to achieve objectives – Using OKRs effectively means initiatives can be neglected, omitted, or maybe even not tied to OKR.

DataRobot Unveils New AI Platform, Ushering in the Era of Value-Driven AI

DataRobot | March 17, 2023

DataRobot today announced the release of DataRobot AI Platform 9.0, along with deeper partner integrations, AI Accelerators, and redesigned service offerings, all centered on helping organizations derive measurable value from their AI investments. “AI has the potential to enhance every aspect of business transactions and human interactions to improve how we live and work,” said Debanjan Saha, CEO of DataRobot. “Since our founding, we have been 100% focused on helping enterprises realize measurable value from AI by offering an AI lifecycle platform designed to solve business problems, and the applied AI expertise to help customers envision what’s possible – and achieve it.” The DataRobot AI Platform allows customers to leverage Value-Driven AI, a unique and collaborative approach that improves how organizations run, grow and optimize their business. With the new and expanded platform capabilities announced today, DataRobot is enhancing the key features and functionalities trusted by global organizations and relied on by nearly half of the Fortune 50. “DataRobot’s rich machine learning blueprints, feature engineering methods and explainability features amongst others make it a cornerstone in BMW Group’s AI Platform to scale AI adoption,” said Marc Neumann, Head of AI Platform BMW Group. “We use DataRobot for rapid exploration and development of AI models while adhering to the code of ethics for safe and trustworthy AI.” The breakthrough innovations inside the DataRobot AI Platform include capabilities that facilitate: Rapid experimentation and value identification using Workbench, DataRobot’s brand new collaborative experimentation experience. Workbench, equipped with integrated managed Notebooks, supports users with both code-first and no-code approaches and the full spectrum of data science capabilities. Reduced enterprise risk and barriers to production through well-architected guard rails — from bias mitigation, centralized model monitoring, to automated model compliance documentation of both DataRobot and non-DataRobot models. Tremendous value, right from the outset with AI Accelerators and new AI services packages that provide customers with years of DataRobot’s AI expertise to jumpstart AI projects and results. “Before DataRobot, our process was very manual – we had success in pockets but our scale was limited,” said Luke Bunge, Data Science Project Manager at Polaris Inc. “Polaris is growing rapidly, and DataRobot is key to allowing us to scale and expand ML across business units, making our existing team much more productive and driving the most possible value with AI. The DataRobot AI Platform significantly accelerates our speed of experimentation and makes it easier for the team to consistently iterate, find insights and share them with business stakeholders, and maintain value while in production.” With the latest release, DataRobot AI Platform Single-Tenant SaaS is now available on AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, ensuring customers with stringent security and compliance requirements get all the benefits of a managed DataRobot service. For on-premises and private cloud customers, DataRobot now supports Red Hat OpenShift for faster installations and deployments that integrate with existing enterprise IT investments. DataRobot also unveiled a newly announced partnership with SAP, designed to help businesses make the most of their existing investments. The SAP partnership will help enterprises to leverage business data from SAP HANA Cloud and other third-party data sources to build custom machine learning models in DataRobot and embed them into SAP application stack. “To succeed with AI, enterprises need a solution that will work within their existing infrastructure and investments,” said Ritu Jyoti, group vice president, Worldwide Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Automation Research at IDC. “With its platform and integration enhancements that make it easy for customers to deploy in their preferred environment, DataRobot has demonstrated leadership within a crowded market. Their compliance and governance is also uniquely positioned to drive value for customers today.” Looking at the next generation of AI technology, DataRobot is innovating with the generative AI technology from the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to modernize both the code-first notebook experience for experimentation through assisted code generation, and the collaboration experience between the data scientist and business stakeholder with an automated and interactive insight interpretation. About DataRobot DataRobot is the leader in Value-Driven AI, a unique and collaborative approach to AI that combines an open platform, deep expertise and broad use-case experience to improve how organizations run, grow and optimize their business. The DataRobot AI Platform is the only complete AI lifecycle platform that interoperates with an organization’s existing investments in data, applications and business processes, and can be deployed on any cloud environment.
