What we do

The Data, Analytics and AI Platform is part of Digital Technologies (DT) and has a clear mandate to scale the data capabilities of Solvay.

The purpose of the DA&AI Platform is to:

• Build and scale new digital capabilities;
• Simplify and modernise our technology landscape;
• Protect and secure technology assets; and
• Establish data as an enterprise asset.

Data will become an enterprise asset through the group Data & Analytics strategy which sets the tune to accelerate value creation while enabling the foundations.  This includes:

• Integrated tool chains for data science, from acquisition, organisation, analysis and delivery. 
• The model and artefact libraries as well, the data science labs and the AI hub of a modern integrated data and analytics capability. 
• A contracts and expertise centre for data science as a service for both the Product Groups and enterprise overall, enabling data science as a core business capability within the business 
• Supporting AI as an expertise centre out of D&A while the user cases are maturing

The DA&AI Operating Model (OM) supports and builds on the DT ATOM.
