Why Talan

Organisations are surrounded by data — across formats, systems, and silos. What once supported decisions now shapes them. Increasingly, data defines products, drives insight, and directs operations. But volume doesn’t equal value. The challenge is turning complexity into clarity and raw information into action. That’s where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in. 

We help companies and public institutions use data and artificial intelligence to tackle real problems and build lasting capability. Whether shaping strategy or delivering implementation, our work is grounded in measurable impact, clear thinking, and a responsible approach to innovation.

The Modern Data Landscape

Organisations generate and collect vast volumes of data from operations, marketing, logistics, customer interactions, and more. This includes not just internal systems, but also data shared across departments and sourced from market feeds, regulators, or third-party platforms. As digital systems become more connected and responsive, data is growing in complexity and playing a more immediate role in day-to-day decisions. 

It takes many forms — structured records, transactional logs, internal communications, long-form text, and more. As AI evolves, especially in how it interprets and links these formats, organisations are uncovering new opportunities for insight and automation. But the real challenge isn’t scale. It’s readiness — making sure data is trusted, usable, and fit for intelligent systems that need to move fast and operate reliably.

Implementing Artificial Intelligence 

Many organisations still struggle to embed data and AI into everyday operations. To create meaningful value, insight needs to flow easily across people, processes, and platforms. Increasingly, that flow is powered by AI — supporting faster decisions, more responsive systems, and greater alignment across the business. 

When it works, the results are tangible. Organisations move faster, operate with more clarity, and gain a real advantage. We support that shift - from strategic design and governance to the platforms and AI systems that make it real.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence 

Generative AI is advancing fast, reshaping how we create, decide, and operate. Its potential is undeniable — but so are the ethical, social, and regulatory challenges it raises. Governments are beginning to respond with frameworks like the AI Act, but policy alone won’t be enough. 

The real question is how we adapt. That means rethinking skills, responsibilities, and the role of human judgment in increasingly automated systems. The future of AI won’t just be shaped by regulation, but by the everyday decisions organisations make in how these technologies are designed, applied, and trusted.

The Challenges of Turning AI into Real Value

Identifying High-Value Use Cases

The hardest part of any data and AI strategy isn’t the technology — it’s knowing where to apply it. Identifying high-value use cases means targeting problems that are solvable, measurable, and tied to real outcomes.

Laying the Foundations for Generative AI

As AI — especially Generative AI — becomes more central to strategy, the gaps in data infrastructure are harder to ignore. Most organisations still lack platforms that can handle fast-growing, diverse data while meeting demands around privacy, sovereignty, and cloud. Without high-quality, well-governed data, even the best AI can’t deliver.

Operationalising AI, Responsibly

Generative AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to deployment, with use cases emerging across financial forecasting, customer service automation, internal knowledge retrieval, and document analysis. These advances bring real potential — but also raise critical questions around governance, fairness, and responsible implementation.

Staying Compliant, Staying Secure

Companies and public institutions continue to face serious challenges around regulation and data protection. While compliance with GDPR and sector-specific laws have improved, it remains a moving target. Cyberattacks are still common — often involving data theft or the disruption of critical services. Public-sector organisations have been frequent targets. In response, many are investing in technical safeguards and driving awareness efforts to strengthen resilience.

Sustainable Data at Scale

As climate targets push toward carbon neutrality by 2030 or 2050, data infrastructure is coming under scrutiny. The growth of digital services brings a rising carbon footprint, prompting organisations to pursue digital sobriety — optimising IT resources, reducing redundant storage and transfers, writing more efficient code, and tracking energy consumption. Managing information assets more intelligently is now critical not just for sustainability, but for long-term digital resilience.
