A NEW CLASS OF COMPANY FOR A NEW CLASS OF TECHNOLOGY

Four operating Forces to deliver continuous innovation

OVERVIEW

Entefy is an AI software and automation company. Our unified intelligence platform delivers on the promise of the intelligent enterprise with unprecedented speed and scale.

Enterprises use Entefy to accelerate their digital transformation and dramatically improve existing systems (think 15,000x performance improvement to Entefy customers)—everything from knowledge management to process and workflow automation, cybersecurity, data privacy, customer analytics, forecasting, and much more.

To optimize for speed, precision, and efficiency, Entefy operates in four essential, interconnected “Forces”—Business Force, Growth Force, Talent Force, and Product Force.

The Business Force executes on Entefy’s strategic plans for capital and effective operations. Growth Force exists to improve the customer journey and experience by optimizing the entire sales operations and service delivery. Talent Force has the important responsibility of ensuring success with Entefy’s human capital. And the human capital at Entefy consists of a global team with a unique mix of backgrounds from PhDs in STEM disciplines to experts in design, economics, and diverse areas of business.

Product Force at Entefy manages the entire technology stack from compute infrastructure to Mimi AI services to user applications. This includes advanced research, architecture, AI/machine learning, software engineering, data operations, and quality assurance. By team size, Product Force remains the largest within our organization, playing a pivotal role in fostering innovation and solving business problems for our customers.
