Reflecting on the Journey
In celebrating the 5-year milestone of Wizata Platform, reflecting on the journey that has brought us to this significant point is essential. By doing this, we have the opportunity to look back at what worked, what did not, where the blockers were, how we responded to the needs of our customers, and most importantly, where to go from here. Our journey has been marked by a few pivotal moments, each shaping our understanding of AI and its applications in industry.
Innovating in an emerging market
One critical moment was when we realized the need to build a platform to share and scale AI solutions globally. At that time, our product was unknown, something that had to be proven in the market, and taking on that mission was the catalyst behind Wizata's success in the past five years. As expressed by Philippe Maes, CEO of Wizata: "We needed to convince the market of the product, and I believe now the market is convinced using data-driven AI makes sense." This shift in our approach laid the foundation for our continued growth and success.
The second pivotal moment for us was the creation of the Wizata Data Science API. This was a monumental achievement that allowed us to scale and adapt to the needs of the customers. As one developer recalls, "It's the moment when we finally got a way to easily integrate everything that is developed using data science, artificial intelligence to be embedded into Wizata."
Behind The Scenes
Behind the scenes, Wizata has undergone significant transformations to align with market demands and technological advancements. From reorganizing the company structure to overcoming technical challenges, Wizata's dedication to innovation and adaptability has been instrumental in its success. In the words of Wizata's CEO, Philippe Maes, "We changed how we operated and moved from a purely technical driven product to a more business-centric approach."
The Role of Innovation
Innovation lies at the heart of Wizata's journey. From core engine advancements to human-machine interfaces, Wizata continues to push the boundaries of what is possible. Wizata remains at the forefront of technological innovation by fostering a culture of exploration and creativity, driving industry-wide transformation. That mentality is shared across the board, as everyone in the company is looking forward to the next step, the next innovation that will catapult us and our clients even further.

Wizata's AI Core
When asked about the most significant innovation of the past five years, Jean-Philippe Hugo, CTO of Wizata, noted: "I think the innovation in our product is again tied to what we have done in the core of the engine for the pipeline. So, the pipeline system, what is inside, how it works, and how it can do what it's doing. That's clearly the thing that is driving our product forward." Through our digital twin system, you can track real-time data in a virtual environment and make adjustments on the fly, which helps not only solve existing problems but, through top-of-the-line simulations, also have the ability to predict and, therefore, prevent future issues.
Team Growth and Evolution
Over the past five years, our team has undergone significant growth and evolution. Reflecting on the team's evolution, Phillipe noted, "Initially, we operated with siloed teams, each focused on different aspects of the product. That changed when we brought everyone together, which led to more collaboration and more communication." This shift towards greater collaboration has been instrumental in our progress. Our team has also leveled up in its knowledge and expertise, particularly in data science and industrial applications. This evolution has enabled us to serve our customers better and deliver more excellent value to the market.
Team Collaboration
Collaboration has been instrumental in Wizata's success. The team has gained invaluable insights by working closely with customers, driving product enhancements, and tailoring solutions. With a flat organizational structure and agile methodologies, Wizata fosters a culture of teamwork, adaptability, and shared success. We are also proud to share that success with our customers. Our solutions' impact on their daily activities has been incredibly positive, and they always share that with us. As one of our founders mentioned, "The collaboration with our customers is stronger than ever today, " which everyone in the company can attest to.
This merger of collaboration between our internal team and our clients is one key factor in the success story of Wizata; in the words of Dario De La Puente, CFO and Co-Founder of Wizata: "I think teamwork is the key point, even after five years we still have a startup mentality for two reasons: 1. We are a flat organization which means anyone in the company has an idea, they can bring it up and if it's a good idea we try to put it in place effectively. 2. We are working as a team that adapts to the market and the environment as fast as possible. We try to maintain that as much as possible."
Customer Impact
At the heart of our journey lies our impact on our customers. Our AI solutions have empowered companies to overcome challenges and achieve significant results. One memorable story involves a customer in the cement industry who initially struggled with AI implementation but saw remarkable improvements after partnering with us.
