Alegion Blog Global Impact Partnerships Enable Enterprise Machine Learning Projects

As a fully managed data labeling provider, Alegion works with various workforce contractors across the US and around the world. Over the past four years, our partnership with StepWise has driven huge growth. For StepWise, data annotation opportunities from Fortune 500 companies have helped employ and retain 180 Kenyan workers, many of whom would otherwise be unable to make fair living wages. For Fortune 500 companies, Alegion’s worker training and management, project management, and intuitive annotation software have produced millions of labeled data points quickly and cost effectively. Who powers the global data labeling workforce? For much of it, business processing outsourcing companies (BPOs) do. Unseen by end customers but critical to the success of Fortune 500 initiatives, these sourcing companies train workers to help scale up IT-enablement projects at a moment’s request.
