Partnering with NTT DATA in Conversational Data Visualization AI

Supporting data-driven decision-making at enterprises through conversational data visualization AI

We've begun a partnership with NTT DATA Corporation to provide a conversational data visualization AI tool within the data democratization domain of "Data Enablement Suite™"—NTT DATA's solution portfolio for supporting enterprise data utilization end to end, from conception through operational deployment.

In this partnership, we combine Squadbase (hereafter "the Technology"), Queue's AI-powered data visualization and application generation platform technology, with NTT DATA's data utilization know-how, data infrastructure capabilities, and enterprise-grade implementation strength, to advance data utilization at enterprises and embed it in day-to-day operations.

Through this partnership, we apply the Technology to the data democratization domain of NTT DATA's "Data Enablement Suite™," aiming to create an environment where even business users without specialized knowledge can readily test hypotheses and make decisions based on data.

Background

The importance of data utilization at enterprises grows year over year, and many companies have adopted BI tools and dashboards. In practice on the ground, however, it's not uncommon for organizations to get as far as visualizing data yet struggle to connect those results to grasping future trends or deciding on concrete actions.

Analyzing data often requires operating SQL and BI tools, understanding data structures, and the ability to tie analytical results to business judgment—conditions that tend to create dependence on data specialists or IT departments. As a result, front-line business users can't make use of data when they need it, and decision-making takes longer.

Against this backdrop, there's a growing need for an environment where even business users without specialized knowledge can analyze and visualize data through natural language, extract insight, and consider their next actions.

About the Partnership

In this partnership, we combine Queue's AI-powered data visualization and application generation platform technology with NTT DATA's data utilization know-how, data infrastructure capabilities, and enterprise-grade implementation strength to support data democratization at enterprises.

The Technology has been developed to enable data analysis, visualization, and business application generation through natural-language conversation. Its particular strength is that even business users without specialized knowledge can build and improve data-driven dashboards and business applications.

NTT DATA brings expertise in supporting enterprise data utilization end to end—from strategy formulation and data infrastructure development to AI adoption, operational deployment, and long-term embedding.

Through this partnership, we aim to provide an environment where business users themselves can access data in natural language and carry out analysis, visualization, and insight extraction, all while drawing on data assets dispersed across the enterprise.

The Value We Deliver

The Technology, delivered through this partnership, supports the aggregation, analysis, visualization, and insight extraction of data through natural-language instructions.

This makes it easier for business users to carry out—at the moment they need it—analytical work that was previously handed off to data specialists or seasoned BI users. And rather than stopping at grasping the current state through a dashboard, it connects to understanding future trends and considering next actions, supporting more sophisticated data-based decision-making.

For example, it becomes possible to analyze purchasing trends and churn signals from customer data to inform marketing initiatives, or to visualize and analyze failure signs and load fluctuations from equipment data to support preventive maintenance decisions.

By integrating with data platforms such as Snowflake, it also enables conversational analysis that draws on existing data assets dispersed across the enterprise. This advances everything from building out data infrastructure to putting it to use on the ground as a single, unified effort, helping data utilization take root at the front-line level.

Looking Ahead

Queue will continue to advance the development of the Technology and contribute to data democratization and more sophisticated decision-making at enterprises.

Through our partnership with NTT DATA, we'll also expand application across the diverse business domains of enterprise companies, aiming to realize a practical data utilization environment that doesn't merely visualize data but connects it to business judgment and the next action.

Toward a world where business users can make use of data through conversation with AI to make faster, higher-quality decisions, Queue will keep strengthening both its product development and its collaboration with partner companies.

Comment from NTT DATA

Under "Data Enablement Suite™," NTT DATA supports enterprise data utilization end to end—from FDE hands-on support and data infrastructure development through data democratization. We believe this partnership, which combines Queue's conversational data visualization AI technology with our own data utilization know-how and enterprise-grade implementation strength, can further accelerate data democratization at enterprises. By creating an environment where even business users without specialized knowledge can perform data analysis and utilization more accessibly through natural language, we support more sophisticated data-driven decision-making and help embed data use on the ground. Going forward, through our partnership with Queue, we'll continue to make enterprise data utilization more practical and to spread it down to the front-line level, contributing to our clients' business transformation and competitive strength.
