BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and position.

I am the Principal Engineer of Hazy (now a part of SAS)

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

Hazy is the world’s leading synthetic data company, re-engineering enterprise data so that it’s faster, easier and safer to use. Data has never been more valuable. But with growing privacy demands and tightening regulations, most of the world’s data is locked away and unusable. For businesses to make better decisions, develop new technologies and deliver more value for customers, they need data they can actually use. They need to set their data free to do more.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire Chudovo to accomplish?

• Our primary goal was to enhance Hazy’s synthetic data generation platform by embedding advanced AI algorithms and upgrading outdated backend systems. We wanted to make our product more compatible with enterprise-level clients after becoming part of SAS, and Chudovo was chosen to help us transition smoothly to a more flexible, API-driven infrastructure.

2-5 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Chudovo handled the full modernization of Hazy’s legacy systems while integrating advanced AI features to boost data quality and performance. Their work included developing AI models for synthetic data validation, building RESTful APIs for smoother integration with SAS platforms, and migrating microservices to a modern, cloud-based architecture with automated deployment pipelines. They also strengthened data security and compliance features. One standout achievement was an AI-powered anomaly detection module that automatically identified irregularities in synthetic datasets—something our internal team had struggled to automate before.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Post-project, our system performance improved significantly, and API response times were noticeably faster. The new AI models reduced manual oversight, enabling our data scientists to focus more on innovation than maintenance. The enterprise modernization work also made integration with SAS’s analytics tools smoother, which was a key milestone in our product evolution.

Our engineering and client success teams both reported that the new platform architecture made deployments more reliable and simplified client onboarding for enterprise users.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Their project management was structured and transparent. Using Jira and weekly sprint meetings, we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. The Chudovo team consistently met deadlines and demonstrated adaptability — especially when our SAS integration team requested mid-project changes to the data pipeline. They managed to incorporate those updates without disrupting the original timeline.

Communication was seamless, with a dedicated Slack channel for real-time discussions and monthly progress reviews summarizing performance metrics and next steps.

What was your primary form of communication with Chudovo?

• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about Chudovo was their ability to combine deep technical skill with strategic thinking. They didn’t just build what we asked for—they challenged assumptions, proposed smarter workflows, and often came up with creative technical solutions. Their AI team, in particular, displayed strong domain knowledge in data privacy and synthetic data generation, which made them feel more like an internal extension of our own R&D team than an external vendor.

Their commitment to quality also stood out. Before every major release, they ran extensive internal tests and shared detailed documentation that made future maintenance much easier for us

Are there any areas for improvement or something Chudovo could have done differently?
