CoreLogic’s Multi-year Alliance with Google Cloud Enables New Product Launch

CoreLogic’s Multi-year Alliance with Google Cloud Enables
CoreLogic©, a leading global property data and analytics-driven solutions provider, has announced an extended relationship with Google Cloud to support the launch of its new CoreLogic Discovery Platform™. Fully built on Google Cloud’s secure and sustainable infrastructure, Discovery Platform provides a comprehensive property analytics environment and cloud-based data exchange for businesses across multiple sectors.

Discovery Platform allows businesses — including CoreLogic’s core markets of property and real estate technology, mortgage lenders, marketers and insurance firms — to discover, integrate, analyze and model property insights to make critical business decisions faster. The multi-year relationship between CoreLogic and Google Cloud enables the development of a scalable platform built with several Google Cloud services including Dataproc, BigQuery, Anthos and Cloud Run to manage the data science workloads for predictive and prescriptive analytics. BigQuery is the petabyte-scale backend for the platform, enabling comprehensive property data views built from a wide array of CoreLogic and third-party data sets. Dataproc powers Discovery Platform facilitating advanced analytics and data science at scale.

Typically, companies with data engineers and scientists spend weeks and even months on data wrangling before reaching the insights needed to drive business growth or mitigate risks. Through the collaboration with Google Cloud, CoreLogic’s Discovery Platform provides a fully secure and compliant environment with relevant data, tools, security, and governance. Using CoreLogic data models and insights allows companies to deploy secure and compliant data analytics workflows within minutes, thereby speeding up the delivery of mission-critical insights.

“CoreLogic and Google Cloud solved a significant challenge in the lag-time required to spin up data analytics workbenches that could be preloaded with nationwide data assets, models, libraries and software and self-service training,” said John Rogers, chief innovation officer of CoreLogic. “Together, we were able to look at every part of the process—from onboarding to ingestion of data, modeling and exposure of that insight to the businesses’ operational platform—and cut the lag-time down by more than 50% to give clients access to the insights they need to move the needle on their business faster and easier than ever before.”

“I’m excited to see our alliance with Google Cloud flourishing. “We’re providing a state-of-the-art analytical platform for our client’s mission-critical processes. Discovery Platform is born from a growing alliance of two major industry innovators. I see the future horizons our research and development product teams are working on, and I am excited to see what's next.”

Patrick Dodd, president and CEO of CoreLogic

“We value working with companies like CoreLogic to develop innovative technology solutions and services that enhance customer experience and deliver insights faster,” said Zac Maufe, global head of Financial Services Solutions at Google Cloud.“Our collaboration will support CoreLogic’s clients’ needs and enable the delivery of more comprehensive and efficient solutions for businesses in the real estate finance market.”

PR Newswire | November 02, 2023

Mural, the leading visual work platform for the Enterprise, today announced its integration with Microsoft 365 Copilot, which provides Copilot users with an AI-powered experience that can be used in conjunction with Mural. Mural is one of the first integrations with Microsoft 365 Copilot which became generally available (GA) today and is the only visual collaboration solution in the initial set of third-party integrations being offered. Alongside this integration, Mural is launching Mural AI, which includes the AI-powered features: actions, mind maps, and clustering. Mural is firmly committed to creating tools and developing partnerships that help teams harness the power of AI to solve the most pressing challenges faced by teams in the enterprise today. Through in-platform AI solutions and responsible, secure integrations with existing tools, Mural is giving teams across the enterprise the technology they need to work together better, faster, and smarter, for increased productivity and job satisfaction. Integration with Microsoft 365 Copilot Microsoft selected Mural to be among a group of premier partners — as well as the only visual work platform — supporting Microsoft 365 Copilot at launch. With its Microsoft 365 Copilot integration, Mural is taking the next step to providing a seamless visual collaboration experience and saving organizations time as part of the central Copilot experience. With the integration, members can leverage simple, natural language prompts to streamline their daily tasks. Using Mural and Copilot, a sales representative can easily find the customer discovery mural for their account; a designer can quickly summarize a brainstorming mural with hundreds of sticky notes; and a product manager can efficiently retrieve a project kickoff mural template — and much more. Mural AI Features Mural's purpose-built AI features empower teams to kickstart their projects, broaden their horizons, and work more efficiently together. Mural AI features help teams automate redundant and routine tasks, quickly synthesize information, and generate new ideas so they can spend their time doing the higher-level thinking that humans do best. Mind maps: Mind maps are a great visual tool for following ideas and seeing where they lead. Mural AI can generate mind maps automatically from a single prompt and allow users to keep following the thread, empowering teams to create and develop great ideas faster and more effectively than ever before.

Mural's AI clustering makes finding and sorting ideas a breeze, paving the way to new insights and enabling a smoother, faster-decision making process so teams can focus on the bigger picture. Mural's product is built to streamline workflows and allow knowledge workers to focus on the work that matters. "The new AI features in Mural are a brainstorming game changer. Pushing people to really dig deep to be creative can be challenging. The ability to quickly generate a mind map to jumpstart thinking will be very powerful. Using AI to quickly group ideas will cut significant time out of a workshop normally spent just 'organizing' thoughts. Now we can focus on creating thoughts." - Cindi P., Operations Lead, Professional Services Company The Future of AI A recent study carried out by Mural found that nearly two-thirds of all knowledge workers are excited and optimistic about AI's ability to help teams work together more effectively. Specifically, they recognize the power of AI to reduce repetitive tasks and automate processes. Managers are even more optimistic about AI than individual contributors (88% vs 74%). Mural's AI features, along with its Copilot integration, empower teams to kickstart their projects, broaden their horizons and work more efficiently together, all while ensuring thorough security and privacy from start to finish.

Jasper expands to become an end-to-end AI copilot for marketing teams

PR Newswire | October 19, 2023

Jasper, an early leader in generative AI tools for businesses, announced today that it is expanding its functionality to become an end-to-end AI copilot for better marketing outcomes. The product release comes exactly one year after Jasper's record-breaking Series A funding and includes new features designed to evolve AI assistance from simply creating content faster to helping marketers perform better. More advanced than writing assistants, AI copilots are personalized to each company and securely combine business context and memory with purpose-built skills for better outcomes. With this new launch, the company will be adding analytics and AI insights for better performing content, an intelligence hub to securely tap into brand, strategy and audience information, and campaign acceleration tools for better collaboration and review processes. This announcement comes on the heels of the company's recent appointment of its new CEO, former Dropbox President Timothy Young, as he leads the company through its next stage of growth with a focus on the enterprise. The enterprise business has accelerated to become the company's fastest growing segment, with the sales team increasing total enterprise ARR by 4x. Analytics and Insights: For better outcomes in addition to faster outputs As part of the release, Jasper announced the addition of analytics and insights to the marketing copilot. Users will be able to see what content is working to drive business goals, get AI recommendations to optimize underperforming content and deploy revisions with the click of a button. The first chapter of AI was all about speed, said Young, CEO of Jasper. Marketers certainly want efficiency, but they also want results. By adding analytics and AI insights into Jasper, we hope to help make the next chapter of AI in the enterprise about speed and performance. Jasper analytics will also surface trends in content performance to highlight opportunities and inform future strategy. The combination of performance reporting, pattern recognition, and accelerated revisions brings a clearer picture of ROI for high-volume marketing teams. "Jasper has long been a cost savings tool," said Young. "With the addition of performance analytics, it becomes a revenue generating one too." Company Intelligence: For content that's shaped by strategy The company also added a central hub to securely store institutional knowledge inside Jasper. Expanding on its capacity to train Jasper on your brand voice and style guide, the addition of the company intelligence hub means that companies will be able to connect to data systems or upload positioning and strategy documents so that content generated through Jasper is better informed and more strategic. In a 2023 study, Jasper found the leading reasons marketers are hesitant to try AI are generic outputs (35%) and inaccuracies (36%). This feature will reduce AI hallucinations with respect to customers' company information and enable them to put strategy, audience research, competitive positioning and other key stances at the epicenter of all marketing content. Through Jasper's new X-ray view, users will be able to see exactly where a piece of content strays from the style guide or brand voice. In addition, because this hub can be easily updated, change management as your company's information and messaging evolves is far simpler and more comprehensive. Campaign Acceleration: For better coordination and faster review cycles Finally, with the release Jasper aims to address the common issue of coordination within enterprise marketing teams. Jasper has taken an AI-native approach to getting a team organized around a project or campaign, bringing campaign management tools like assignments, comments, and scheduling directly into the flow of content production. In addition, in the near future these tools will provide AI summaries of feedback and one-click automation of revisions for even faster review cycles. All of this is meant to reduce the administrative lift that external project management tools require and move through revisions in a more productive way. "Jasper has really helped our marketing team scale digital and social content that build on Morningstar's independent investing research. It's not just about faster content and more of it, but about higher audience engagement," said Steve Bendt, chief marketing officer for Morningstar. "It's been a game changer for social media, where Jasper has helped us build quality content that's driving double-digit growth in content downloads." Greater Enterprise Control: For greater security and better brand integrity everywhere In addition to having SOC2 compliance and key enterprise control measures, Jasper has expanded its extensibility by moving its API to full availability. Customers can use the API to pull on-brand, personalized messaging into any of their platforms. "Jasper has also added Spaces to its administrative tools so administrators can have greater control over user permissions, and users can get a clearer, less cluttered view into their work. By having both private and public spaces inside the copilot, teams can work on content, campaigns in a quiet space or collaborate together depending on their needs. " About Jasper Founded in 2021, Jasper is an AI copilot for marketing teams that want better outcomes in addition to faster outputs. Jasper securely trains on your brand and strategy, accelerates content and campaign production, and helps marketers measure and optimize for performance all as part of an end-to-end copilot.
