It’s been a head-spinning year in artificial intelligence. Nearly every vendor recognizes the power of AI and has dedicated time, effort, and money to bringing that power to customers. Whether embedded in products, through specialized infrastructure, or through near turnkey solutions that enable organizations to embrace AI on their terms, the wave of AI adoption is just getting started. It’s a key reason why professional services and aligning strategic partnerships in specific industries feels like an arms race. The market opportunity is exploding and remains primed for the taking, as organizations need help not only getting started on their AI journey, but also as they continue through the AI lifecycle, from simply integrating data to operationalizing AI at a global scale.
