Aera Technology announced the general availability of the Aera Cognitive Operating System, a cloud platform for Cognitive Automation. In extending availability beyond current customers and partners, Aera aims to meet the need of companies whose operations have been impacted by changing or uncertain market conditions.

"We’ve worked with the world's largest organizations and complex supply chains to demonstrate the value of Cognitive Automation at scale. This tight collaboration has enabled us to build the Aera Cognitive Operating System, which is now easy to implement and scale, and therefore available to an even wider range of companies,” said Frederic Laluyaux, CEO of Aera Technology.

"We are all running on much shorter cycles in this dynamic world, and it is impossible to process everything manually or on legacy systems. Aera’s Cognitive Operating System has made a real difference in our ability to implement and operate a best-in-Class IBP process. This, combined with the fact that we could rely on a single, intelligent source of truth, gave us a springboard to agility,” said Alessandro de Luca, CIO of Healthcare at Merck Group.

The Aera Cognitive Operating System augments and enhances human decisions, providing a centralized corporate brain. By applying data crawling, machine learning and industry models, Aera’s system makes real-time recommendations, predicts outcomes and acts autonomously to aid complex decisions.
