The global AI market was valued at $515 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $2.74 trillion by 2032. It\u2019s become the new talk of the town, and prospectors are looking to strike gold with quick and secure solutions that will accelerate their business innovation.<\/p><p>The world of IT may be mostly free of gunslingers and highwaymen, but AI can still be unpredictable and dangerous if it\u2019s not approached with care and consideration. Rather than trusting the words of a cowboy or snake oil salesman, we\u2019ve prepared six key questions that your company should ask itself before exploring IT\u2019s new frontier.<\/p>\n<h2>Q1: Have you migrated to the cloud?<\/h2>\n<p>Migrating to the cloud is one of the first important steps when looking to adopt AI. These platforms are fueled by data, and cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure provide a great place to store, manage and secure that information. Azure provides a framework that includes tools, programs and content that help simplify the adoption of AI and other cloud-native practices.<\/p><p>Before you start this journey though, there are a few things you need to work out, like a coherent and justifiable business case for migrating. This is about asking;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How much are you going to migrate?<\/li>\n<li>Is it financially viable to migrate now?<\/li>\n<li>Do the benefits outweigh the negatives?<\/li>\n<li>Have you looked into the resources already provided by Microsoft?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are also funding opportunities \u2013 which can only be accessed by working with select partners \u2013 that would offset some of the costs of migrating and potentially unlock other opportunities and projects. This can help a lot with creating a compelling business case, and we\u2019ll be coming back to this point a little later on.<\/p><p>If you have these things in place then perfect, you can get going with your migration. We\u2019ve created a <a href=\"https:\/\/clouddirect.net\/a-step-by-step-guide-to-creating-an-azure-migration-strategy\/\">step-by-step migration strategy guide<\/a> to help get you going, or <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@amlaninfinity\/migrating-an-on-premise-data-pipeline-to-azure-cloud-a-comprehensive-outline-d4bce952f411\">this article<\/a> provides a comprehensive outline for migrating on-premise data pipelines.<\/p><p>Already operating in Azure? Great \u2013 it\u2019s time for the next question.<\/p>\n<h2>Q2: Are your costs under control?<\/h2>\n<p>The second question that you should be asking yourself constantly \u2013 with or without AI \u2013 is whether or not your costs are under control. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alvarezandmarsal.com\/insights\/cloud-cost-optimization-reducing-cloud-spend-eliminating-waste-and-operating-effectively\">2023 survey by Gartner<\/a>, businesses are wasting more than a third of their cloud spend on average each year. That\u2019s not just wasted cash, it\u2019s wasted opportunity \u2013 money that could be funding your AI journey is going straight down the drain.<\/p><p>You might be wondering where on earth this wastage is. What\u2019s it being spent on? While there isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all answer, data science publication TDS says <a href=\"https:\/\/towardsdatascience.com\/control-ai-costs-through-agile-data-science-project-management-9396516f888b\">\u201cinefficiencies like idle infrastructure can waste significant amounts of data infrastructure investments.\u201d<\/a> One of the best ways to prevent such wastage is to run regular cost assessments that allow you to properly analyse which parts of your infrastructure are responsible for this over-investment, and what remedial action should be taken.<\/p><p>Another option could be switching your payment model. For example, if you are in an industry where your requirements will fluctuate, you might benefit more from a pay-as-you-go model that allows greater flexibility in scaling your workloads and means you only pay for what you use. Thus, allowing you to adapt to your requirements. Whereas industries that are a lot more stagnant and can easily plan for the amount of architecture that they would use, may benefit more from a reserved instance, as your long-term projects are far more predictable and plannable.<\/p>\n<h2>Q3: Have you optimised your cloud security and performance?<\/h2>\n<p>AI runs on data \u2013 you\u2019re sick of us saying that, but we\u2019ll keep beating the drum. If you want to get the most out of AI then you will need to ensure that it can access that data as efficiently as possible. Regularly running performance assessments on your cloud infrastructure will aid efficiency.<\/p><p>Optimisation will enable you to scale your resources, optimise and identify bottlenecks, and will improve the ability of your system to adapt to changes in its workloads. This will in turn make the process of adopting AI smoother and more straightforward, before the technology begins aiding the optimisation process in the long run.<\/p><p>Security is at the forefront of all things IT \u2013 and AI is no exception. As artificially intelligent platforms will often be working with larger loads of data and, particularly in some cases, extremely sensitive data, it is going to need watertight security. For example, in 2020 a company named Cense AI almost leaked 2.6 million medical records because \u201cCense AI was temporarily hosting it online before loading it into the company&#8217;s management system or an AI bot.\u201d A major risk to take that should\u2019ve been calculated and could\u2019ve been avoided if the correct cloud security measures had been in place. If you are interested in learning more about this case then check it our<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pcmag.com\/encryption\/128228\/report-ai-company-leaks-over-25m-medical-records\"> here<\/a>.<\/p><p>If you are want to know more about cloud security, we\u2019ve also outlined <a href=\"https:\/\/clouddirect.net\/learning-hub\/six-ways-to-stay-secure-in-the-cloud\/\">s<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/clouddirect.net\/learning-hub\/six-ways-to-stay-secure-in-the-cloud\/\">ix ways to stay secure in the cloud<\/a> on The Learning Hub.<\/p>\n<h2>Q4: Are your custom business applications modernised?<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you\u2019re on top of your costs and your performance, it\u2019s time to start thinking about the applications that help you operate day in, day out. Outdated, monolithic applications are expensive and don\u2019t offer the same benefits as they will do when run in Azure. Migrating them means you unlock greater security and scalability, and that the data from these applications is going to be easier to access for your AI model.<\/p><p>But the buck doesn\u2019t stop with migration. Modernising your applications also requires a cultural shift in how your organisation approaches the management of them. This often presents itself as a DevOps methodology, which promotes greater group collaboration and efficiency when looking to adopt AI. It means sharing responsibilities and workloads, but it doesn\u2019t come easily. It\u2019s a shift in your processes, your approach, and your mentality \u2013 but you\u2019re already looking to revolutionise your organization, so it\u2019s the perfect time to adopt a DevOps approach.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/clouddirect.net\/learning-hub\/five-rs-of-application-modernisation\/\">Click here if you want to explore the Five R\u2019s behind application modernisation and transform your custom business apps.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Q5: Is your data accessible?<\/h2>\n<p>Oh look, we\u2019re mentioning data again. It undoubtedly feels very repetitive, but it is the most important thing when it comes to adopting artificial intelligence. Data is the fuel that is needed for AI to function, so ensuring it has easy, unhindered access is vital.<\/p><p>Microsoft makes this easier with products like Azure Data Factory is a perfect solution for hybrid environments, enabling you to control, secure, govern and unlock data across both on-prem and cloud servers.<\/p><p>Even if you\u2019re not looking to adopt AI right now, then keeping your data accurate and up to date is still an important practice. As Jordan Kanter at <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.perficient.com\/2024\/02\/02\/generative-ai-clean-data\/\">Perficient<\/a> points out: \u201cThe consequences of using bad data extend beyond immediate operational challenges\u2026\u201d, before explaining that poor data quality costs the US healthcare system $210 billion per year.<\/p>\n<h2>Q6: Do you gain insights from your data?<\/h2>\n<p>You\u2019ve done the hard work. You\u2019ve scrubbed your data, made sure it\u2019s on a modern data platform, and that your analysts and AI have the access they need\u2026 so what\u2019s next? You need to know how to use the tools you now have at your fingertips \u2013 it\u2019s no use having all that data if it\u2019s just going to sit there.<\/p><p>Picture your business as a house. Each department is a different room \u2013 with its own boundaries and confinements \u2013 and your data is your wiring. It flows from room to room, reaching every corner of the house and being just as critical in each and every area. Some rooms use it for lighting, others to run washing machines, a third to power a television. Each room has its own uses for the electricity, but it is the same utility that enables all of them.<\/p><p>Now, if users in each room were forced to hardwire their appliances into the wall, we\u2019d be running into problems pretty quickly. Thankfully, plug sockets give us an easy-to-use, ultra-accessible interface to benefit from our wiring system. So, we need a data equivalent.<\/p><p>While there are Microsoft products that solve these issues \u2013 be it PowerBI, Synapse or Fabric \u2013 your teams will also require training to fully understand the tools you\u2019ve put at their fingertips. Then, and only then, will your entire business be able to put your datasets to work and start making data-driven decisions that truly empower your whole organisation.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Right, it&#8217;s time to implement an AI strategy&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019re happy with your answers to these six questions, it\u2019s time to implement a clear and defined AI strategy. Make sure you consider how you want to use AI, and how it\u2019s going to help your business \u2013 are you looking to maximise your use of Copilot? Are you attempting to create a bespoke AI solution for your development team?<\/p><p>Adopting clear and concise policy documents that outline to employees the appropriate use of AI, and ensuring that they are adhered to with regular updates and check-ins, is critical.<\/p><p>If there is any confusion, or if you would simply like a second opinion on your strategy, then you know where to find us. Whether it\u2019s educational materials that will help you <strong>learn <\/strong>more about the adoption of AI, funded Copilot workshops and data readiness assessments to help you <strong>grow<\/strong> in confidence when planning your project, or implementing a rapid adoption process that will add some <strong>sparkle <\/strong>to your AI journey, we can help you saddle up for the journey ahead.<\/p><p>AI may be a vast new frontier, but that doesn\u2019t mean you need to explore it alone. <a href=\"https:\/\/clouddirect.net\/contact-resources\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Let&#8217;s talk about it<\/a>.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p>Ready to start your journey?
