Denodo partners with Google Cloud to advance data management with AI

Denodo, a global specialist in data management, unveils a novel integration of the Denodo Platform with Google Cloud's Vertex AI, a key step in their ongoing partnership. Utilising the potential of data virtualisation, Denodo will work collaboratively with Google Cloud to provide their joint customers with the ability to devise inspired solutions. They aim to achieve this by pairing advanced logical data management capacities with cutting-edge generative AI services, while also allowing access to state-of-the-art large language models (LLM).

With the increasing demand for generative AI across diverse sectors like financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, and academia, businesses endeavour to evolve by exploiting this potent technology. However, the constant shuffling in market dynamics makes it strenuous for companies to supply LLMs with real-time data crucial for articulating meaningful responses, which is pertinent for both internal and external stakeholders. The Denodo data management platform seeks to redress this issue. This highly anticipated integration is primed to help businesses catalyse genuine transformation by facilitating access to Gemini models, and fuelling the development of innovative new services and applications.

Speaking on the collaboration, Dan Young, Chief Data Architect at Indiana University, said, "Google Cloud and Denodo's innovative technologies enable us to provide better and faster insights while freeing up valuable time and resources for our team." He added, "We recognised early on the transformative potential that can be realised by combining Denodo's data management platform with Google Cloud's generative AI solutions, and their large language model capabilities which empower our academic community by accelerating cutting-edge research and advancing the success of our students."

Generative AI is mooted to bolster prodigious improvements in business operations, with the Asia-Pacific region projected to triple generative AI spending in 2024. Ritika Suri, Technology Partnerships Director at Google Cloud, said, "Generative AI can significantly improve how businesses operate and benefit virtually every industry. By leveraging Google Cloud's leading gen AI capabilities, Denodo can help customers unlock new insights to improve operations and be more productive."

Building on a strong infrastructure platform, industry solutions and expertise, Google Cloud expedites businesses with their digital transformation initiatives. By employing Google Cloud's generative AI and LLMs, organisations can utilise the Denodo Platform in guaranteeing ethical aspects like bias mitigation and privacy protection while delivering a safe and efficient data stream to Vertex AI applications.

Denodo's Chief Evangelist, APAC, Shanmuga Sunthar Muniandy, commented, "Using Denodo's logical model approach, enterprises across industries can integrate and manage data and apply Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques that combine the capabilities of a pre-trained large language model with external data sources." He added, "This latest integration further sets the stage for enterprises to redefine the boundaries of innovation by unlocking new levels of business value through the power of data and generative AI."
