Introduction

The Former SaaS Paradigm: Digitizing the current workflow

Complex business workflows → deterministic business rules → data structures
Challenge: Thinking rules in a scalable way across multiple contexts
Limitation: Pre-defined scenarios and rigid decision trees

Complex business workflows → AI-powered reasoning engines → adaptive data architectures
Opportunity: Handle ambiguity, context, and edge cases through learned patterns
Capability: Abstract entire jobs and complex decision-making processes
