Arria Connect (

https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=2882777-1&h=3717130833&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.arria.com%2Fconnect%2F&a=Arria+Connect

) is foundational to supporting the rapid adoption of NLG, a technology that

many companies are including in their workflows to scale their business,

realize rapid cost savings, and expand their market reach. Now, any company can

easily build Arria's natural language technology into their own Business

Intelligence (BI) tool, analytics application, website, or process-automation

workflow.

Natural Language Generation is a form of artificial intelligence that extracts

insights from complex data sources and communicates that information in written

or spoken form.

Seamlessly Connects to Other API-based Platforms

Arria's open API-based architecture allows for a seamless connection to other

technology platforms in two ways: 1) make a direct API call from any

application that can communicate via HTTP; data is ingested and narrative is

automatically returned; or, 2) use the Arria Connect Integration Accelerator

Kit to embed NLG inside software platforms for incorporating narrative. Users

also have the ability to work with Arria's prebuilt NLG solutions and configure

them.

Developers with no NLG experience can leverage Arria Connect's prebuilt

libraries for easy integration rather than building from scratch. In addition

to Arria's prebuilt NLG solutions, Arria Connect also comes with a sample NLG

implementation, sample code, and a complete documentation set.

Actionable Insights in Seconds

Incorporating data-driven narratives alongside visual analytics adds immediate

value and an enhanced experience, which encourages broader adoption of BI

across the enterprise. The average person, not just financial analysts, can

understand and draw meaning from numbers through the assistance of the

narrative. And, when speed to information is critical for decision making, the

efficiencies of NLG provide actionable insights in seconds rather than hours or

days.

Users of BI software have already witnessed the benefits that written

natural-language analysis brings to their dashboards. This is because humans

understand best through stories. When dashboard viewers can read the story

their data is telling, in addition to seeing the visualizations, it's faster

and easier to grasp the meaning and find the most important insights tucked

away in the data.

Similarly, Arria Connect can be used with software programs for pharmaceutical

data, sales reports, or any other business use where an application or website

can be enhanced with instantly generated written narrative.

Sharon Daniels, Arria CEO, explains, "Arria Connect is a way for companies to

add immediate value and differentiate themselves from their competitors,

increase their user base, and stay ahead of the technology curve." The

Integration Accelerator Kit speeds up the development work and time to market.

You don't have to build a team of people and go through the learning curve of

building an NLG system -- the technology is already built, proven, and deployed

globally."

The release of Arria Connect comes at a time when Arria is building out its

technology suite for a broad range of use cases. While Arria's core technology

and integrations help companies easily implement NLG for their spreadsheets,

business intelligence dashboards, voice/chat conversations, and RPA workflows,

it is the Arria Connect offering that puts the integration capabilities

directly into the hands of developers who want to build NLG into their own

products.

Arria NLG is a form of artificial intelligence that transforms structured data

into natural language. Through data analysis, knowledge automation, language

generation and tailored information delivery, Arria software replicates the

human process of expertly analyzing and communicating data insights. Arria

dynamically turns data into written or spoken narrative--at machine speed and

on a massive scale.

Arria's API architecture enables seamless integration with any BI, RPA or VOICE

platform. Arria has the greatest concentration of NLG expertise in the world

and has a growing patent portfolio of 32 core NLG patents.
