Applying artificial intelligence to companies that solely understand the behavior and desires of customers through data analysis is a very attractive and driving factor for their business development. Using artificial intelligence can help these companies ranging from simple virtual collaborations to major decision making. For instance, in the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Line, it is first necessary to identify companies having business similar to the national fleet business and then to localize and use algorithms simplified for these companies by artificial intelligence after reviewing the inputs, processing, and outputs of the information. These algorithms and solutions can start from refining a simple process and continues to using Application Programming Interface or Building Block, a software which is connected to the main current system. Therefore, it should be noted that ports for input and output information are incorporated.

One of the significant benefits of artificial intelligence is the recognition of low-value and mass data in the organization from high-processing data. That does not mean that the organization should stop searching on its organized mass data. However, the real value is achieved by analyzing all of the organization’s data through artificial intelligence and separating the underutilized, unstructured data from the structured data. Based on artificial intelligence logic, organization’s structured data is separated from databases and excel files and classified into third-party data. Unstructured organization data is also available for use in cases where it is not directly defined in line with the core business in the organization.
