AI adoption is accelerating across the enterprise, yet a striking paradox persists: most data leaders report confidence in their infrastructure, skills, and data readiness for AI, while simultaneously citing those same elements as their biggest obstacles.
This gap between ambition and operational reality is extremely acute today for many organizations. Data complexity, process interdependencies, and decades of deferred quality investment create conditions where AI initiatives stall not from lack of vision, but from fragile foundations.
Join TDWI Research Fellow Donald Farmer and experts from Precisely as we examine how automation of data and processes, especially in SAP environments, directly addresses the readiness challenges that most often derail AI at scale. Drawing on findings from research by both TDWI and Precisely, we explore how organizations are building the governed, consistent, and contextually enriched data foundations that enterprise AI actually requires. Key takeaways include:
- Why data integrity, not model sophistication, determines whether AI delivers at scale
- How automation of data processes closes critical gaps in quality, consistency, and governance
- The maturity journey from eliminating manual effort to achieving genuine organizational agility
- How you can make data governance work for AI without creating additional burdens
- How location intelligence and data enrichment can give AI models the real-world context that internal data alone can’t provide
