It’s been a heck of a year for emerging tech, and as we’re looking toward 2025, I’m getting the sense that a lot of our customers are burnt out regarding AI. Everyone’s still excited, but can you feel it? After months of nonstop headlines, many of us are beginning to come down with a case of AI fatigue, but that absolutely doesn’t mean we get to hit pause.
As 2024’s AI buzz has reached a fever pitch, many of the organizations BA Insight encounters are grappling with the same pressing question: “How can we effectively integrate AI into our business without disrupting processes?” The demand for AI solutions is skyrocketing, yet many companies find themselves caught in a cycle of experimentation without achieving meaningful results.
This is where BA Insight steps in as the world’s first true AI enablement platform specifically designed to bridge the gap between ambition and implementation. As more organizations investigate generative AI initiatives, we help you avoid pitfalls and enhance productivity across the board, so your organization can solidify your future-forward strategy and AI success.
The Current AI Landscape
Many organizations already understand the potential benefits of AI, but the journey from awareness to end-goal is bubbling with challenges. Recent research from Everest Research Group reveals a staggering 90% of AI projects fail to make it out of the experimentation phase into production. That’s a daunting statistic, and we hear similar sentiments from many BA Insight customers. It’s not that organizations haven’t found their sweet spot with AI investments, it’s that they’re taking a piecemeal approach to AI, almost literally throwing money and time into the attempt to get from the experiment stage to production. And it’s not working.
So, what’s the common denominator? From what we’re seeing, it’s a trifecta: Every AI project faces the challenge of needing access to data, preparing that data, and ultimately exposing that data. The real challenge is that for an AI initiative to be truly successful, it needs to hit on those three factors in a repeatable, transparent, and cost-effective way.
Companies are experimenting with AI across various tools and platforms but are finding frustration rather than success. As the AI landscape becomes increasingly crowded with vendors promising revolutionary solutions, CIOs, CDOs, CTOs, Chief AI Officers, and other key decision-makers are left exhausted and uncertain. After all, each journey is a little different, and many are left with their heads on their desks, wondering, “Which AI path is the RIGHT choice for my organization?”
