Create an Architecture for AI

Build your target state architecture from predefined best-practice building blocks.

This research is designed to help organizations who are facing these challenges:

  • Deliver on the AI promise within the organization.
  • Prioritize the demand for AI projects and govern the projects to prevent overloading resources.
  • Have sufficient data management capability.
  • Have clear metrics in place to measure progress and for decision making.

AI requires a high level of maturity in all data management capabilities, and the greatest challenge the CIO or CDO faces is to mature these capabilities sufficiently to ensure AI success.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Build your target state architecture from predefined best-practice building blocks.
  • Not all business use cases require AI to increase business capabilities.
  • Not all organizations are ready to embark on the AI journey.
  • Knowing the AI pattern that you will use will simplify architecture considerations.

Impact and Result

  • This blueprint will assist organizations with the assessment, planning, building, and rollout of their AI initiatives.
    • Do not embark on an AI project with an immature data management practice. Embark on initiatives to fix problems before they cripple your AI projects.
    • Using architecture building blocks will speed up the architecture decision phase.
  • The success rate of AI initiatives is tightly coupled with data management capabilities and a sound architecture.
