Managed AI Readiness Services

Adopt AI with confidence

As organisations look to turn AI pilots into solutions with tangible business value, they typically hit multiple roadblocks. On the technology side, one major concern is the potential inadequacy of the existing infrastructure to deliver the required performance and availability. In particular, legacy Microsoft 365 environments were not designed for AI workloads. Attempting to retrofit them to new AI solutions often results in performance degradation, rising costs and overwhelmed IT teams.

Data is another significant concern, both in terms of its quality and completeness and in terms of controlling the use of sensitive data.

Many companies also encounter skill gaps and internal resistance to change. From sceptical veterans to inexperienced graduates, a lack of knowledge and practical skills around enterprise AI can lead to low adoption rates and poor user acceptance of solutions. A key element here is the perceived risk of AI hallucinations driving poor operational decisions or leading to legal consequences — especially in highly regulated industries.

How can organisations overcome uncertainties around AI and build the right business case for investing in the best initiatives?

With managed AI readiness services from Northdoor, companies can confidently prepare for the adoption of artificial intelligence by aligning technology, data, people, and processes.
