Delaware Electric Cooperative: A Case Study

Effective Predictive Modeling Before 2020: Led by one of our current lead Engineers, Mike Tisdell, and our Founder, Frank Velasquez, Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) was able to predict peak electricity usage and manage demand more effectively.

But we don’t stop at utilities and weather. Our engineers are well-versed in any sort of data your company collects, and we can generate the desired result you need, saving time and other precious resources for your organization.

Landmark Project

On the day it went live, the AI system successfully recommended a load control action to reduce electric energy usage.

Cost Reduction

The AI system implemented continues to aid DEC in reducing annual operating costs, which translates into lower rates for their members.

Accurate and Precise Forecasting

The AI model combines electricity load consumption and weather data to accurately forecast peak and non-peak days, making precise recommendations for load control events. This was all made possible and enabled by our hallmark intuitive interface for ease of use on advanced insights.

AI & Machine Learning Operations

Your Competitive Advantage; our AI Managed Services

Cornerstone’s engineers and leaders are well-versed in AI Managed Services, specializing in governance and model risk management.

Our data science consultants are deeply versed in AI/ML technologies, platforms, tools, and neural network formulation. Using MLOps techniques, we can help your data science teams navigate this (often tricky) landscape to assess technologies and solutions, select the right platforming and container strategies, and recognize appropriate opportunities to implement AI and ML for competitive advantage.

Boyd’s “OODA Loop” would have something to say about this, in that this four-letter acronym demonstrates making your operations in AI and Machine Learning more efficient (saving you more time and money) by enabling your organization’s mathematical edge: getting to better decisions with your data, faster and more often. It might seem as though managerial oversight and governance in AI Ops would slow your actions down, but through four simple-but-thorough steps, your leadership is transformed into a victor—faster decisions, more insight, better returns.

AI & Data Transformation

Leverage decades of collective data science experience to transform vast amounts of company data into actionable insights.

AI Training and Development

You cannot be sustainably running AI models operationally without proper training, especially for those that aren’t seasoned data scientists. We implement training for proper governance, so your ship can sail safely and securely.

Proper Data Preparation

Machine learning depends on Data pipelines and workflows – they must be established, adhered to, and reliable for recordkeeping. These are obscure, tricky, but necessary hurdles for your MLOps success.

Informed Consent

How can your people or end users use a tool they don’t agree with? We can lubricate your desired outcomes by developing internal ‘rules of engagement’ that actually propels users and their individual autonomy for great business gain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions?
We have answers and would love to support your project.

What does an engagement with Cornerstone look like?

We always begin with listening and our exceeding curiosity about your organization. We practice what we preach, and don’t only impose the OODA loop on your AI models, data and computing environment. We take the approach of exceeding curiosity to learn as best we can about all your goals, issues, and potential solutions to those problems. We reach a shared vision, and don’t let up until that vision comes to life.

How much does it cost to perform a project with Cornerstone?

Because our philosophy stems from curiosity and a deep desire to learn about your unique situation, we never quote until both parties are sure of the desired outcome in all its specificity. To think any other way would be to shun the uniqueness of your IT environment and data infrastructure, and not completely understand everything necessary to get your organization to where you want to be.

In short, our cost is only derived by what we learn and what we both agree to do. Have an issue or idea in mind? Get in touch! [email protected]

Is there a specific company size or head count you prefer to work with?

We’re scalable and adaptable. Because of the wide breadth of capabilities we’ve built up over the years, it often depends on what you’re looking for, from help desk to data migrations and in between. Therefore, our focuses often include more variables than solely headcount or end user count. Factors like where and how you collect your data, store your data, as well as your goals for your organization all influence how we define a partnership.

Do you work with any partners to deploy your IT services or deliver data securely?

At Cornerstone Technologies, we are proud partners with some of the premier companies in the IT and software industry. Not only as part of our legacy, but also for the future, our growing cache of in-house expertise is complemented by companies such as SonicWall, Microsoft (Azure), Amazon (AWS), Dell, and, as a Service-connected Disabled Veteran owned Business, the National Veteran Business Development Council (NVBDC), to name a few.
