Persistent Introduces Pi-OmniKG with Google Cloud

The launch of Pi-OmniKG builds on the Strategic Partnership Agreement Persistent announced in June 2024, which strengthens the collaboration between the two organizations to support Persistent development of AI-driven solutions across industries.

Persistent Systems has launched Pi-OmniKG, an advanced AI-driven knowledge graph solution developed with Google Cloud technology. “Omni” signifies the ability to universally handle diverse data, and “KG” stands for Knowledge Graphs powered by GenAI. This innovative solution empowers healthcare and life sciences (HCLS) organizations to accelerate biomedical research, streamline data mining processes, and deliver insights with greater speed and accuracy. Furthermore, Pi-OmniKG enables direct querying of structured and unstructured internal data assets, alone or in combination with external data.

Biomedical research is often hindered by time-consuming and labor-intensive data mining workflows. Legacy systems struggle to incorporate and analyze diverse datasets effectively, delaying the generation of actionable insights critical for HCLS enterprises. Pi-OmniKG addresses these challenges by modernizing data integration processes, creating a holistic knowledge base to decipher complex relationships, allowing researchers to make faster, evidence-based decisions by unlocking hidden insights. Furthermore, Pi-OmniKG enables direct querying of structured and unstructured internal data assets, alone or in combination with external data.

Ganesh Nathella, Senior Vice President and General Manager – HCLS Business, Persistent said, “In an era where data-driven insights are vital to accelerating drug discovery, clinical research, and patient-centric care, the challenges of managing vast and complex datasets often impede progress in biomedical R&D. At the intersection of technology and life sciences, Google Cloud partnership enables us to deliver transformative solutions tailored to this industry’s unique needs with a data-first approach. Pi-OmniKG enables life sciences organizations to streamline workflows, leverage data, and drive breakthroughs with precision. Together, we are advancing the capabilities of researchers and research organizations to address critical challenges and accelerate progress across the healthcare and life sciences ecosystem.”

Shweta Maniar, Global Leader, Healthcare & Life Sciences Solutions & Strategy, Google Cloud, “As the volume and complexity of biomedical data continue to grow, researchers need smarter tools that unlock the true potential of this data. Pi-OmniKG, powered by Google Cloud’s GenAI capabilities, showcases how AI can empower organizations to drive faster discoveries, bring therapies to market sooner, and advance global healthcare innovation. This collaboration with Persistent underscores our shared commitment to enabling breakthroughs in life sciences.”

Pi-OmniKG is built using Google Cloud’s advanced technologies — including the Vertex AI platform, BigQuery, and Cloud SQL — leveraging GenAI capabilities to streamline workflows, standardize data, and enable seamless integration of structured and unstructured datasets. Its intuitive interface allows researchers to query and visualize data, uncovering novel relationships and delivering high-quality insights backed by authentic citations. Persistent has been working with Google Cloud’s cutting-edge AI and cloud technologies for over a decade to deliver transformative solutions that address complex industry challenges.
