EY Intelligence Engine

What EY can do for you

The COVID-19 pandemic has left businesses struggling to find answers surrounding recovery, calling attention to an urgent need: the ability to access sufficient data in times of crisis. Disparate data stores hinder business leaders’ efforts to make fully informed decisions. Using a modern data architecture approach called data fabric, EY developed EY Intelligence Engine, which enables access to data wherever it lives.

Enabling the platform with a modern data architecture:

• Fit-for-purpose storage that uses disparate storage structures such as object stores and file stores (Hadoop, Cloud, NoSQL and containers)
• Economic allocation of computation across ephemeral or long-running clusters and containers
• Efficient data usage through virtualization of infrastructure, storage and computation

Through Intelligence Engine’s unique architecture, companies can avoid data silos, negative side effects to innovation across the enterprise, and the feeling of drowning in data. Intelligence Engine supports rapid technological change while increasing data entropy.

How the platform benefits organizations:

• Three million curated data sets, public and subscription-based, inform analysis.
  • Data locations include: the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA); the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA); the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS); and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
• Trends — macroeconomic, social and financial — drive conversations.
• Data analysis is available for specific needs.
• Client-specific data can be integrated for custom insights.
• Dynamic, custom-built dashboards enable ongoing analysis.
• Interactive artificial intelligence (AI) models drive forecasting and scenario planning.
