CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Feb. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SEB Administrative Services Inc. (“SEB Admin”), a subsidiary of Smart Employee Benefits Inc. (“SEB” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SEB) (OTCQB: SEBFF), an Insurtech provider of cloud based, end-to-end IT and Benefit Processing solutions for the life and group benefits marketplace and government, is pleased to announce that it is set to launch its new Data Lab, an innovation centre for data, to harness opportunities within the field of data science. Initially, the Data Lab will be focused internally, to accelerate data experimentation and educate employees on the field of data science, the limitless possibilities of data applications and to stretch the application of data.

As a technology company, SEB wants to foster a data driven culture throughout the organization. We’ll start with gamification, and use this as a learning opportunity, to demonstrate how games are built with data and won’t miss the opportunity to customize the games to incorporate our business values and core product information! An engaging way for employees to get hands-on experience and ensure they have the skills and data science thinking that is needed for the future.

Later, the Data Lab will be used to support our clients and their business goals by providing the data insights needed to move their objectives forward. Business decisions are data driven, and by collating data from all our applications, databases, text documents, pictures, PDFs, etc. into “data lakes”, we can then transform the data to add value through out-of-the-box reports, predictions and trends based on this mined historical data. The SEB Data Lab will be the engine to explore, analyze, transform, visualize data and build AI and machine learning models composable into our product line. The primary focus will be on decision support, decision augmentation and decision automation capabilities. Very powerful! Very Exciting! Stay tuned for more details.

States Mohamad El Chayah, COO of SEB and President & CEO of SEB Administrative Services, “The SEB data lab will be the platform to accelerate our innovation agenda, optimize connectivity and bridge the gap between data models and conceptual models from ideation to realization of data driven business models.”
