So, you’re ready to dive into the world of AI. The benefits could be enormous for your business: whether it’s dramatic cost savings or significant enhancements to the customer experience. But practically speaking, what should you do next?
It’s natural to be unsure – the applications of AI are so numerous you might need help working out which avenue to follow. If you’re stuck at the crossroads, Meridian IT will help you decide the best route, maximizing the chances that your early steps into AI are successful.
In our previous blog, we discussed the difficulty of finding the right entry point into AI. You might have heard others say: ‘start small’, but what does that mean? If you invest in minor, isolated AI projects that address very specific use cases, it can be difficult to scale up those capabilities so that they have a tangible impact on your business. Or, if you kick off with overly-ambitious initiatives, you might struggle to find the skills and infrastructure to make them a success and risk going way over budget. It’s a real challenge to identify the appropriate degree of commitment.
To overcome sticking points in adoption of AI, we’ve developed a ‘Getting Started with AI’ workshop, drawing on our technical knowledge and hands-on experience of cognitive technologies. The workshop will bring together members from all areas of your business – C-level, LoB, application development, IT leadership and more – with our AI experts and partners to kickstart your AI journey.
Stakeholders from across your enterprise will therefore understand the relevance and feasibility of any AI proposals, helping you decide which to pursue and gaining widespread support in the process. It’s often said that data science is a team sport – initiate that collaboration early, and you’re far more likely to succeed.
No matter what industry you operate in, we’ll tailor the workshop to focus on the challenges and opportunities specific to your sector. At the end of the workshop, you’ll emerge understand the best use cases to deliver value to your enterprise quickly, plus a high-level plan to put the first project into motion.
Crucially, we can help you identify the optimal technology components to support your prototype and production models cost-effectively. Our deep knowledge of accelerated computing architectures, including IBM PowerAI and NVIDIA GPU technology, will you turn your AI vision into reality in a way that generates returns sooner rather than later.
