Artificial Intelligence: a Tool integrated into Maps Group’s software
Financial journalist Rosa Aimoni from WEBSIM by Intermonte asked Marco Ciscato how Maps Group’s work is evolving in light of the major transformation driven by artificial intelligence.
“We all perceive artificial intelligence as a deeply pervasive phenomenon. At Maps Group, where we have been using AI for many years, we’ve aimed to employ it as a tool to be verticalized in the areas where we operate, particularly healthcare and energy, to support organizations in their digital transformation”, explained the Chairman.
The company’s approach does not see AI as a one-size-fits-all solution to business challenges. Instead, Maps Group focuses on vertical integration and implementation of AI within its software products, in order to expand and strengthen an already well-defined business model.
In the energy sector, Maps Energy has integrated AI into some software modules to enable predictive maintenance, helping companies rationalize energy consumption and optimize costs.
In healthcare, the Data Driven line of Maps Healthcare uses AI to analyze data related to prescription appropriateness. Furthermore, within Patient Experience, AI supports and enhances the management of relationships between healthcare facilities and patients, leveraging multichannel communication.
Growth Strategies
Maps Group aims to grow through external lines, expanding its portfolio of digital products and strengthening its market position in its core sectors.
International expansion, especially in the energy sector, is among the company’s key strategic objectives for the coming years.
Latest figures and future outlook
In the first half of the year, revenue exceeded €15 million, marking a 7% increase.
The Maps Healthcare business unit recorded €10.1 million, +14% year-on-year; Maps Energy reached €1.3 million, +19%; Maps ESG totaled €1.5 million, +4%; and MapsLab closed at €3 million, –13%.
Ciscato expressed confidence in the future, convinced that the new European regulations on Energy Communities and the Italian PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) will act as key drivers of growth.
