AI & Machine Learning Services

AI and machine learning are everywhere right now.

But for most organizations, it’s still unclear what they actually mean – or how to use it in a way that delivers real value.

Some teams are experimenting with current tools but not seeing meaningful results.

Others know the predictive potential but aren’t sure where to even start.

At SCS, we help organizations apply AI and machine learning to develop trustworthy predictive analytics that actually do something: move your business forward, troubleshoot challenges, and stay ahead of the game.

Thanks to SCS, we have a dynamic data migration tool for our ERP to help us migrate from Oracle to SQL Server. Our data migration challenge is significant with more than 10,000 tables, ~2TB data volumes and data definition changes. The tool SCS developed to automatically create SSIS packages to migrate individual tables and the control program they created to allow us to control the number of parallel executions have both proven to work out great. We are one step closer to a successful ERP upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between AI and machine learning?

Machine learning is a subset of AI that uses data to identify patterns and make predictions. AI is a broader term that includes machine learning along with other techniques that automate decision-making and analysis.

Do we need a large amount of data to get started?

Not necessarily. The most important factor is having clean, structured, and relevant data. Even single location organizations serving a small service area can benefit from the predictive analytics that AI and machine learning unlock.

What tools or platforms do you use for AI and machine learning?

We primarily work within the Microsoft ecosystem, including Azure, Power BI, and Fabric. We integrate the places your team uses right now to log data – custom applications, CRM, ERP, website, etc. – into a secure Microsoft environment. The result is better data analytics, but without the need to replace the systems that are currently working.

Can AI results be trusted and explained?

Yes. SCS focuses on building models that are transparent and aligned with your business logic, so teams can understand how results are generated and confidently act on them. We put extensive guardrails in place to prevent AI hallucinations, so you can truly trust the results you see.

This all still feels conceptual. Can you give me a real-world example?

AI and machine learning are often used to analyze multiple variables at once and identify patterns that aren’t obvious.

For example, a government health and human services department could evaluate dozens of data points from patient records, demographic information, environmental, and location data. All of that data could then be grouped into categories, and an AI could analyze all of those individual data points to identify commonalities. This can surface trends like a spike in reported medical symptoms isolated to one municipal water supply.

Another example: utility companies/environmental services companies analyzing images for detection of invasive plants. Also, using tools that read documents for analyzing and grouping them together based upon human defined attributes.

Those same analyses would take a large team of humans years of dedicated, high-touch cross-referencing to discover. The AI tool can uncover it under human direction in seconds.

This same type of exercise can be applied to business data – combining multiple data sources to predict outcomes, prioritize actions, and support better decision-making.
