IT Problems That Can Be Prevented
The Real Cost of AI Missteps
Wasted Investment in the Wrong Tools: Buying an AI solution without knowing if your data or systems can support it leads to expensive, underperforming technology that fails to deliver on its promise.
Security Risks from Unvetted AI: Connecting powerful AI models to your business data without proper security controls can expose sensitive information, creating new vulnerabilities for cyberattacks.
Compliance Violations You Can't See Coming: If your AI handles regulated data (e.g., HIPAA, CMMC, PCI), you could face severe penalties or lose your cyber liability coverage if the system isn't compliant.
Inaccurate Results from Poor Data Quality: AI is only as good as the data it's trained on. Feeding it incomplete or inaccurate information will lead to flawed insights and bad business decisions.
Infrastructure That Can't Handle the Load: AI and machine learning require immense computing power. If your current network and servers aren't prepared, you'll face system crashes and operational bottlenecks.
