Our take
Corporate reputation management is becoming increasingly important. Using the vast amounts of publicly available media content and internal business intelligence out there, alva wants to help companies make better informed decisions to drive economic and social value.
So much available media content brings with it a great opportunity to understand what key stakeholders are thinking. However, it can be hard to cut through the noise and understand what they truly believe. alva succeeds in removing this complexity by combining AI and machine learning, as well by using as sector analyst expertise.
This approach has led to alva winning the Artificial Intelligence Excellence Award for Natural Language Processing in 2021. It has been trusted by the Global 2000, with clients including Verizon, AstraZeneca, Rolls-Royce, Vodafone, and PwC.
