Stellar introduces integration of generative AI (artificial intelligence), large language models (LLMs), and machine learning (ML) across all facets of business operations. A tech-enabled services leader, Stellar helps businesses assess their AI readiness, identify and prioritise AI opportunities, and implement solutions to securely improve end-to-end operations and financial outcomes.
“Stellar enabled me to understand how generative AI can drive our business and improve our customers’ experience. The company has a great process for evaluating our AI opportunities and making it easy for us to explore our options and engage in a way that is best for us.” says Ed Van Deman, CEO of financial services software innovator Forest Systems.
A recent survey of CEOs and senior executives by Gartner, Inc. revealed that AI was dominant technology that CEOs believe will impact their industry over upcoming three years. “Company leaders are becoming increasingly aware of the impact of genAI and want to implement these tools, but don’t know where to begin. Stellar transforms businesses through genAI and LLMs hosted in the customer’s own environment and powered by their internal proprietary data. Our expertise, guidance, and solutions enable employees, customers, and stakeholders to achieve next-level performance, revenue acceleration, and improved customer experiences.” says Brett Flinchum, CEO of Stellar.
Flinchum has been a developer in Silicon Valley for more than 25 years and has introduced AI applications. These are used for clinical trial enablement, clinical risk management, geospatial data integration, and the recent AI-enabled data/cloud technologies such as hyper-converged infrastructure software.
“Breakthroughs in genAI are advancing the way business is done, but there is a great opportunity for enterprises to capitalise further. Healthcare payers can process payments more accurately and efficiently for customers. Big pharma can expedite clinical trials and reduce patient risks. Airlines and telecommunications companies can solve complex travel or billing problems online without long wait times and complex voice response systems. Finance, marketing, and HR (human resources) teams can talk and interact with their data in completely new ways, no longer relying on stale dashboards and outdated performance indicators.” adds Flinchum.
Stellar’s team has vast experience working across industries, from start-ups to large enterprises, to embed genAI into day-to-day operations. Working alongside Flinchum to introduce Stellar:
