The SpotXchange team supports creativity wherever possible, encouraging employees to try new approaches and create new services. The team`s philosophy is to “fail fast” — if a project fails, move on to the next initiative without committing too much time or too many resources to projects that “don`t take.” SpotXchange`s employees work hard and play hard – the company sponsors after-hours activities like softball, broomball and a Tough Mudder team and is rolling out an employee mentor program to support and guide high-potential leaders to build new skills and capabilities.
We started Narrative Science in order to solve a big problem—giving people a fast and simple way to understand data. While companies have invested billions sourcing and aggregating data, spreadsheets and dashboards as mechanisms to understand data simply aren’t cutting it. People want the stories the data supports—about their operations, about their business, about their life. And, what better way to tell stories than through language? That`s why we are focused on creating exceptional software, starting with our Artificial Intelligence platform, Quill, that transforms data into meaningful and insightful narratives people can simply read. Quill enables organizations to spend less time crunching numbers and more time providing their employees and customers with actionable information that, ultimately, makes them smarter.
