As of February, NorCom will advise the BA's specialist departments on the use of advanced analytics, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as support them with the implementation of corresponding applications. NorCom's data scientists and data engineers take care of the preparation of data, the development of machine learning models and their evaluation.

A special focus will be on the go-live of AI: Here, models are transferred to large-scale application and their quality in operation is ensured through monitoring and continuous further development of the machine learning models used.

“The quality assurance of AI is undoubtedly one of the most exciting and challenging topics that arise in the go-live of AI. Innovative architectures and state-of-the-art technology must ensure not only the technical, but also, in particular, the professional quality of the AI, ”explains Dr. Tobias Abthoff, Managing Director of NorCom. “The BA's IT is technically very ambitious and progressive. We look forward to working together to advance these topics, which also make up our core competencies. "
