You are at the forefront of AI innovation as a Microsoft Azure partner.
AI models are doubling in size every six months, driven by advancements in computing power and improvements in AI model optimization. This acceleration is reshaping the tech landscape, with bigger and better AI models emerging at unprecedented speed, but many need help with the complexities of adoption.
Rand Research estimates that over 80 percent of early AI initiatives fail due to missed critical steps in preparing for AI workloads. That’s twice the failure rate for IT projects that do not involve AI.
