Professor Soibelman and his research group at the Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will have access to Crunchflow's large metadata database that has anonymous performance information from thousands of projects and employees allocated in professional service organizations. The researchers' mission is to find in this data preliminary patterns and results that help to understand how companies can boost efficiency levels. They also want to demonstrate the potential for extracting knowledge from such a database. Crunchflow's CEO Daniel Knijnik believes that the collaboration will place the company in the forefront of a technology that has the potential to revolutionize how artificial intelligence is applied to business. "We will have top researchers entirely dedicated to innovation, using the latest and most modern technology", he said.
