IT teams often jump at the chance to do exciting projects, but these projects often end up as prototypes rather than fully finished products. They often lack training and support. While they’re eager to deliver the initial version, they can struggle to keep up with the fast-changing space. Their attention is divided among different priorities, which can make it hard to create a strong, scalable platform.
This holds true for Artificial Intelligence (AI) projects. It is difficult for businesses to develop an entire AI platform, not to mention manage it. If businesses don’t have the resources to create a new dedicated team, staying current in the fast pace market is near impossible. When embracing AI for business it is best to use a vendor.
Using a vendor is like hiring your own team of AI experts that can keep up with market innovation. AI Assistant technology has taking huge strides in the last few years with the development of Generative AI, and things are continuously improving at a rapid pace. NOHOLD has made a list of some of the reasons why it is important to use a vendor for your AI projects.
