Win with data
In the 2011 movie “Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game”, the baseball club “Oakland Athletics” fails in the first round of the playoffs after a successful season because the club’s few top players switch to the more affluent competition. Ambitious team manager Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt), with the help of a young Yale graduate, Peter Brand, begins to restaff the team on the basis of Sabermetrics, a computerized statistical method that was derided in the baseball scene at the time. In doing so, they sign players who were not rated highly according to the traditional selection process and are therefore available at low prices. And indeed, the Athletics begin to win their games through the use of data science. Their run of success even culminates in a new historic league record of 20 wins in a row.
CHAPTERS Group
CHAPTERS Group AG is a group of companies listed on the German stock exchange. We are a group of around 50 medium-sized companies, of which over 40 are highly specialized vertical market software (VMS) companies. This ecosystem combines the agility of decentralized units with the clout of a strong group and creates opportunities for the exchange of best practices, partnerships and intelligent synergies that promote the sustainable success of our software companies.
Our VMS companies typically focus on 1-2 customer groups and are critical to the success of these customers. They are often ERP-type solutions or point solutions that map a very important process. Many of our customers also have the software solutions adapted to their specific workflows. On the one hand, this makes our companies an indispensable partner even after the introduction of the software products and, on the other hand, requires the efficient implementation of service projects. This is where AI comes into play.
We look for Peter or Petra Brand of the AI era
According to a recent survey by BITKOM (Germany’s Digital Association), 78% of German companies see great opportunities in AI (artificial intelligence). However, only 9% of them are already using generative AI today. At CHAPTERS, we believe in young talents and that you shouldn’t wait and see when it comes to AI. That is why CHAPTERS Group relies on various AI initiatives such as internal working groups and cooperation with AI start-ups. In addition, various of our software companies are already integrating AI into their products.
Referencing the movie, we are looking for an AI enthusiast for an internship to apply existing AI skills to real-world challenges in our software companies. And if you’re wondering, “Why should I apply?” – well, the Oakland A’s never won the World Series, but a talented intern can certainly score a key role with us!
The possible use cases include:
– Reduction of manual work in service projects to optimize margins
– Acceleration of software development processes and reduction of technical debt
– Support systems for 2nd level support staff to process complex tickets
