Alan, Mr. Turing’s software-as-a-service product, uses cognitive intelligence to understand documents that were written by humans for humans—and then use that knowledge to help humans immediately find the information they need. Alan’s digital “memory” contains about 1 million pages of information, which Alan uses to answer some 2,000 questions per day.
As Mr. Turing built Alan, they found Elasticsearch to be crucial to his performance. When the company’s previous cloud provider announced it would no longer support the official, ongoing versions of Elasticsearch, which serves as Alan’s version of a human memory, the company decided to migrate to Microsoft Azure. Not only did its move to Azure enable Mr. Turing to stay on the latest, official version of Elasticsearch, but it has also made Alan twice as fast and less costly to operate.
