NEW YORK - April 2, 2019 - Dataiku, one of the world’s leading Enterprise AI and machine learning platforms, today announced the release of Dataiku Free Edition and Dataiku Lite Edition to enable small- and medium-sized businesses the ability to democratize data science, machine learning, and AI in their organization, no matter the size. These new platforms will give smaller or early maturity stage businesses an equal opportunity to understand, collaborate, and transform their organizations through Enterprise AI.

In today’s business climate, large enterprises tend to reap the most rewards from emerging AI technologies, transforming their business models around the new frontiers of data science and machine learning. According to Gartner’s Predicts 2019: Midsize Enterprise CIOs Lead, Adapt and Evolve Digital Transformation, “Creating and sustaining a competitive advantage require CIOs of MSEs to pay close attention not only to near-term impacts, but also mid- and longer-term advances in technology. This is the only way to ensure that they adopt the most relevant strategic technology trends that will help them to survive and thrive in the fast-changing business environment.”

In addition, the report states, “By 2022, over 50% of midsize enterprises will improve their productivity and growth through adopting artificial intelligence into their core business operations.” With this in mind, Dataiku recognizes AI innovation is critical to any business and that it provides value even when executed at a smaller scale.

"With these new offerings, we’re democratizing the use AI so that enterprises of any size can reap the tremendous competitive advantage that comes with today’s AI revolution," said Florian Douetteau, CEO of Dataiku. "We’re proud to be leading this movement and look forward to working alongside businesses of all sizes — whether a three-person company or large multinationals — to transform their business models and break open new markets and opportunities. In fact, we’re thrilled to already be partnering with over 1,000 smaller and medium-sized businesses who are starting their path to Enterprise AI with Dataiku Free and Lite Editions.”

Dataiku Free Edition: The updated and comprehensive Dataiku Free Edition allows for the building of a unique collaborative platform, wherein multiple users can work on the same projects and have access to integrated documentation and knowledge sharing. The Dataiku Free Edition now enables teams of up to three users to work on data simultaneously.

Dataiku Lite Edition: This new platform provides all of the capabilities of the Dataiku Free Edition while also allowing users to employ key features from the Dataiku Team and Enterprise Editions. This platform is designed to be an entry point for smaller businesses to begin their journey with Enterprise AI, expanding their platform and capabilities as their organizations grow. This platform eases the pain points many smaller businesses face in getting AI efforts off the ground due to lack of resources.

In every market or region and across all industries, Enterprise AI holds the potential to transform any company or institution. With Dataiku, organizations can easily create powerful, machine learning-powered applications on a single, collaborative platform.
