AI-Powered Marketing on IBM Cloud

Key Points

  • Data Zoo provides digital‑marketing management through three core capabilities: unified customer data across devices, an AI‑driven insights platform, and automated “action data” that continuously rebalances media portfolios.
  • The company built its platform on IBM Bluemix because IBM offers ultra‑high‑performance CPUs and a sub‑10 ms latency network needed to process ~25 billion daily touch‑points and make ~3 million real‑time decisions per second.
  • Data Zoo leverages IBM’s unique bare‑metal cloud service, which delivers the required price‑performance and low‑latency environment not available from other cloud providers.
  • By integrating IBM Watson cognitive services via APIs, Data Zoo enriches its analytics with advanced customer‑insight models that boost marketing ROI.
  • IBM’s ongoing partnership, including deep performance analyses, has helped Data Zoo optimize global deployments and become the most efficient technology platform in its market segment.
