NEC and Quollio Technologies advance context layer testing

NEC has collaborated with Quollio Technologies, Inc., a provider of next-generation data intelligence solutions for Japanese enterprise companies, to complete a technical verification of integrating the “Quollio Data Intelligence Cloud,” which allows for the management and utilization of business context as business metadata, with the AI ​​data analysis platform “dotData”. Based on the results of this verification, the two companies began testing the system in NEC’s internal business environment in March 2026.

Background of the joint verification: Challenges in preparing AI-ready data

With the proliferation of generative AI and AI agents, the importance of converting data accumulated within companies into “knowledge (AI-Ready data)” that AI can understand and utilize is increasing. “dotData” can streamline and accelerate the preparation of AI-Ready data by automatically extracting features (insights), which are statistical facts hidden within the data. On the other hand, “semantic information,” such as how to interpret the extracted features in a business context and use it to make decisions, tends to depend on human knowledge and work experience, which has been a barrier to AI understanding the context and generating answers.

From October to December 2025, we utilized “Cortex Agents,” a generative AI agent provided by Snowflake LLC, and “Streamlit,” an application development tool for visualizing and sharing data. In this environment, through dialogue (brainstorming) with the AI ​​agent’s chat UI, we confirmed that by adding business context to the features extracted by dotData, the AI ​​agent could generate meaningful answers that go beyond simply presenting numerical data, taking the context into account. Furthermore, we confirmed the technical feasibility of an architecture that autonomously integrates and utilizes these elements.

NEC and Quollio will promote the market deployment of a “knowledge cycle” that enables companies to continuously and effectively utilize the data they have accumulated as strategic decision-making assets, in order to contribute to the advancement of data utilization and the practical application of AI.
