Are you tired of flashy AI pilots that never actually improve your bottom line? “The Pragmatist’s Guide to Enterprise AI” tackles the biggest roadblock in business AI today: the massive chasm between a cool demo and scalable production.
As companies shifted from monolithic ERPs to fragmented “best-in-class” applications, their data became siloed. To fix this, many businesses attempt a risky “Overlay” approach—dumping their data into a central lake and hoping a single third-party AI can make sense of it,. The problem? This strips away the vital business context that gives data its meaning, causing 95% of these projects to fail at scale,,.
Instead, the guide champions the proven “Activate, Build, and Connect” framework:
– Activate: Start by using AI embedded directly inside your native business applications, where the data context is already rich and accurate,.
– Build: Establish a semantic data foundation (a data fabric) that bridges your different systems without destroying the meaning of the data,.
– Connect: Deploy a network of specialized AI agents that communicate with one another to seamlessly orchestrate end-to-end workflows,.
By preserving business context and scaling step-by-step, your organization can successfully cross the pilot-to-production chasm and turn AI hype into measurable financial wins,.
