Greyfly has been awarded with funding to boost the development of our Intelligent Project Prediction (IPP) tool.
As part of the sustainably economic recovery plan from COVID-19, government funding has been awarded for technologically innovative R&D projects that aim to improve business performance and efficiency in all sectors. In the partnership with the University of Southampton, the funding will allow us to accelerate the development of predictive analytics and machine learning to predict project performance. AI capabilities will enable managers to diagnose potential risk across a portfolio of projects and take corrective measures to increase the chance of project success. As a result, the IPP tool will help businesses across all sectors to cut the cost caused by project failure and allow them to reinvest saved resources into other recovery initiatives.
