ANZ partnership to deliver computer vision outcomes

VisualCortex has signed a referral and services agreement with data consulting company Servian. Under the guidelines of the partnership agreement, Servian will be permitted to recommend VisualCortex’s Video Intelligence Platform — as well as deliver implementation, integration, model building and associated professional services — to its current and future clients throughout ANZ. Servian was acquired by Cognizant in January 2021.

Servian National Managing Partner David Emery said that the partnership would help its ANZ clients exploit and act on video-based insights at scale.

“The partnership with VisualCortex allows us to bring a platform approach to video analytics, meaning quickly focusing on the usage of data — and the insights and decisions we can make from it — instead of spending all our time on the engineering and integration,” Emery said.

“Historically, analytics has focused on data from the core systems in our businesses. Video analytics gives us the ability to leverage data, which was previously untapped, to generate new insights about new areas as well as new perspectives on existing parts of our businesses. At Servian, we don’t see video analytics as a standalone service offering. We see it as part of the instrumental data backbone of an organisation. VisualCortex will help us achieve that vision.”

Servian works with a wide range of customers within the video analytics field, across ANZ — from retail and transport, to logistics and occupational health and safety.

“We’re particularly excited to see how we can help our transport clients enhance their computer vision capabilities with VisualCortex,” Emery said.

“We’ll do this across a range of use cases — from proactive incident detection and traffic flow management, to timetable optimisation and automated number plate recognition.”
