Why Your Integration Layer Matters More Than Your AI Model
A data science team builds a model with ninety-two per cent accuracy. Then someone asks: how does it get fresh data, return scores to the dashboard, and trigger alerts? That is where most AI projects stall.
When an AI Vendor Says 'Enterprise-Ready,' Test These Five Things
Enterprise-ready is a sales claim. Whether a product fits an enterprise environment requires five specific tests that most procurement processes skip.
