THE WORDS BEHIND THE NAME
Our Name BolgiaTen is taken from Dante’s Inferno but we reside in a ‘Data Inferno’ not Dante’s Inferno. In Dante’s version of the Inferno, Dante and Virgil enter the last and tenth Bolgia of the Eighth Circle, which is the home of The Falsefiers. The Falsefiers are divided into four subgroups:
- the Alchemists,
- the Impersonators,
- the Counterfeiters and
- the False Witnesses.
BolgiaTen is based in the realms of Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation and Innovation which are the fundamental enablers of our thoughts, process and Innovation developments. We see BolgiaTen as the ‘end state’ beyond the ‘Data Inferno’ where we can expose truth, trust, transparency, accountability and governance excellence in actionable insight through examination using our four states of the tenth Bolgia; BolgiaTen AI and Data Analytics D3P®:
- Descriptive,
- Prescriptive,
- Persuasive
- Predictive
As we move towards and AI driven world into the Metaverse and Web 3.0 both Narrow, and eventually, General AI is going to take us on an unfathomable journey which has both Threats and Opportunities in abundance, we should treat these as equals in evaluation and execution.
Join us in exploring data through this examination lead approach participation and interaction. We hope our blogs will form a useful stimulus to your thinking and you will join us in this exciting journey.
WHAT WE DO!
BoligaTen is an advisory and consulting organization focused on helping Companies and Governments to adopt industry best practices such as TM Forum’ Frameworx, IET, IEEE, CCITT (ITU), BCS and others. Adopting collaboratively developed best practices and achieving the expected results has proven to be challenging, as framework’s are typically only defined to a generic and conceptual level; that is, documentation, guides and training are nonspecific and so not business focused for your particular orginisation.
Bolgiaten have developed a unique approach to implementation of Value based outcomes through AI and Big Data Analytics. When applied to satisfy Social Media, Mobility, AI & Big Data and Cloud, support material becomes more limited. BolgiaTen helps organisation drive beyond the generic to the specific, whilst observing Global Best Practice through an ambidextrous engagement model.
