Expert Panel: Identifying Success Factors for Building AI Applications

Webinar Speaker: Donald Farmer, Research Fellow

Date: Monday, October 6, 2025

Time: 9:00 a.m. PT / 12:00 p.m. ET

Building high-performance AI applications is essential for competitive differentiation, operational efficiency, and innovation in modern business. Building agent apps, for instance, is becoming a popular trend.

If implemented using best practices in data science, data engineering, and other key disciplines, AI applications can automate repetitive tasks and improve efficiency, thereby freeing up knowledge workers for more sophisticated tasks.

TDWI research has found that success factors for building AI applications include investing in the right people, processes, and platforms. This expert panel will discuss the following key topics:

  • Identifying AI applications with the greatest potential impact
  • Democratizing AI use across the organization
  • Building a scalable, high-performance MLOps infrastructure to support AI initiatives
  • Creating a collaborative infrastructure for building, training, deployment, and governance of high-performance AI
