Business Situation

The client recognized the importance of embracing AI technology to empower their workforce and elevate operational efficiency. Their vision revolved around developing a pioneering platform that harnessed the transformative potential of generative AI. This platform was aimed at revolutionizing interactions within their organization, prioritizing security and elevating the overall employee experience by facilitating seamless interactions and enabling swift access to information within a secure environment.

To convert this idea into a market fit solution, the client was on the look around for a technology partner who could help them with strategy, technology, architecture, and other related aspects of development. This is where Daffodil Software’s expertise came in.

The key requirements were to:

  • Conceptualize, design, & develop a robust AI platform that is highly secure and accessible to authorized employees only.
  • Develop a scalable and robust architecture for the application which could help them scale at speed.
  • Design UI/UX to make interactions within the platform more efficient and user-friendly.
  • Enable efficient AI model training that would lead to enhanced employee productivity.
  • Integrate collaboration features to promote knowledge sharing among departments.

The Solution

After thorough research and collaborative discussions, both the client and Daffodil’s team mutually decided to leverage Microsoft AI (API). This decision was driven by Microsoft’s strong reputation for security and the availability of powerful tools that could meet the client’s specific requirements.

The developers swiftly implemented Microsoft Azure, and worked diligently to craft a feature-rich solution that aligned perfectly with the client’s unique needs and objectives.

React was harnessed for the front-end while Node.js provided the scalability and security required at the back-end. MongoDB, specifically utilizing Cosmo DB, ensured the safe and efficient handling of data. This tech stack formed the foundation for an AI platform that could meet the client’s stringent security requirements.
