iLearningEngines and Exult Global Announce Strategic Partnership to Implement Low Code AI Platform on Microsoft Azure and Fabric to Accelerate AI Use Cases Deployment

BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iLearningEngines, Inc. (Nasdaq: AILE) (“iLearningEngines”, “ILE”, or “the Company”), a leader in AI-powered learning and work automation for enterprises, today announced a strategic partnership with Exult Global to implement its innovative AI platform on Microsoft Fabric and Azure. By leveraging Fabric’s unified analytics capabilities on Azure's cutting-edge cloud computing platform and iLearningEngines’ low code AI Platform, this move has the potential to rapidly scale the development of use cases and AI apps. The unified solution has the potential to provide customers with a seamless integration, scalability and security within their existing IT landscapes.

Exult’s Center of Excellence (CoE) aims to ensure that this deployment not only optimizes performance, but also significantly reduces enterprises’ time to market for AI-powered hyper automation apps. iLearningEngines’ AI platform for learning and work automation, known for accelerating AI use cases within enterprises, will take full advantage of the unified analytics and AI-enablement features of Microsoft Fabric. This integration aims to amplify iLearningEngines’ already powerful capabilities and make it an ideal platform for large enterprises seeking to manage and distribute AI apps more effectively.

"The iLearningEngines AI platform, coupled with the inherent scalability and AI features of Microsoft Fabric, represents a game-changer in enterprise AI use case development," said Murali Gopalan, CEO of Exult Global. "We believe this partnership will set new benchmarks for what enterprises can achieve with AI, especially with iLearningEngines’ rapid deployment model and disruptive pricing."

“This strategic move strengthens iLearningEngines’ customer offering and we believe it better positions iLearningEngines for sustained growth in the rapidly evolving AI markets,” said Bala Krishnan, President and Chief Business Officer of iLearningEngines. “Exult Global, renowned for its deep expertise in Microsoft technologies, is transforming how enterprises harness the power of AI. Murali has been a visionary in this area, and we are honored to be an integral part of Exult Global’s Center of Excellence (CoE) with Azure and Fabric,” he added.

The key potential benefits of this strategic implementation, if successful, include:

1. Accelerated Innovation: The advanced AI capabilities and comprehensive data tools provided by Azure and Fabric reduce the operational burden of managing multiple cloud services for iLearningEngines, thus allowing the company to focus on expanding its library of AI Engines (also known as “hyper apps”), driving innovation and delivering high-value solutions to its customers at faster speeds.
2. Scalability and Flexibility: By deploying on Fabric and Azure, iLearningEngines’ AI platform will be better positioned to quickly scale to meet specific use cases of large enterprises, facilitating consistent performance and improved responsiveness as client needs evolve.
3. Enhanced Integration: The integration with Fabric and Azure enables iLearningEngines’ platform to work seamlessly with a wide range of enterprise systems and tools, reducing complexity and accelerating deployment timelines for clients.
4. Security and Compliance: Azure’s industry-leading security infrastructure, combined with Fabric’s robust governance features, will better position iLearningEngines’ AI platform to meet the highest standards of data protection and regulatory compliance.

By implementing its platform on Microsoft Fabric and Azure, iLearningEngines is positioned to significantly enhance the capabilities of its "Knowledge Cloud," which is designed to streamline enterprise knowledge management and drive autonomous learning, intelligent decision-making, and process automation. Microsoft Fabric’s unified platform integrates all necessary data and analytics tools— including Azure Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, and Power BI—into a single environment, reducing complexity and enabling iLearningEngines to focus on efficiently managing the entire data lifecycle. This integration is consistent with iLearningEngines’ goal of ensuring that the Knowledge Cloud remains up-to-date and reflective of real-time enterprise data, which is crucial for seamlessly embedding AI-driven insights into enterprise workflows.

The introduction of Microsoft’s OneLake as a universal data repository allows iLearningEngines to centralize all enterprise data within a single location, regardless of whether it is stored on-premise or across different cloud environments – including AWS and Google Cloud. If successfully implemented, this cross-cloud compatibility would make it more efficient for iLearningEngines’ AI Engines to access and analyze the most current data without duplication or complex migrations. The AI integration within Fabric, including advanced tools like Copilot, further simplifies the process of querying and analyzing data, making the Knowledge Cloud more accessible and user-friendly for enterprise users.

Additionally, Fabric’s unified governance and security framework, integrated with Microsoft Purview, provides robust data compliance and security across all environments, which iLearningEngines expects to enhance trust and adoption of iLearningEngines’ platform.
