Zorroa is working with partners including Google, Amazon, and Oracle to deliver Visual Intelligence solutions that can automatically ingest, analyze, and organize millions of images, videos, and documents using the latest advances in machine learning addressing the challenge of exploiting exponentially increasing collections of visual assets - the largest untapped resource of information in most businesses.
