$50K MACHINE LEARNING GIVEAWAY

$50K for 50 Years

It's not every year a tech services company turns half a century. To celebrate, SPR is doing what we love most – offering technology services. And even better, doing it for free. Have an idea for a machine learning project? We’d love to hear it.

In honor of SPR’s 50th anniversary, we’re donating $50,000 worth of machine learning (ML) services! Our goal is to support our SPR communities – Chicago or Milwaukee – by partnering with a local organization who thinks that implementing an ML-based solution could make a significant, positive impact on their organization and the community. Machine learning (ML) is an important emerging technology that trains computer systems with data to perform a particular task and give an accurate result. 

Drawing on our more than 15 years of data science and engineering experience and our deep expertise in custom software development, SPR helps clients unlock the predictive power of their data, empowering organizations to make more informed decisions more quickly, automate processes and workflows, and redirect time and energy to other work. Our collaborative and strategic professionals help companies overcome some of the biggest roadblocks to successful AI and ML projects and create and deploy secure, scalable and reliable models.  

To learn more about SPR’s ML capabilities, visit our data and ML pages.
