Without clean, consistent, and accessible data, any AI initiative will fall short.
AI starts
with data
How to get your organization ready
Artificial intelligence promises groundbreaking efficiency gains, better decisions, and completely new business models. But before algorithms can generate real value, a solid foundation is needed: strategically aligned data management.
Requirement
Before investing in use cases, models, or tools, the following prerequisites should be in place:
- Forward-looking data strategy: What data is available, what data is needed, and how can it be consolidated in a meaningful way? Without a clear roadmap, you risk ending up with confusing data silos and redundant structures.
- Structured data model: A uniform, well-documented data model creates the basis for scalability and interoperability – both for classic BI and AI-supported applications.
- Data quality & availability: Inconsistent or incomplete data leads to incorrect results. Automated quality assurance and governance processes are essential.
- Technological infrastructure: Flexible, cloud-enabled platforms with powerful ETL and integration processes (e.g., SAP BTP, Snowflake, Talend, or Kafka) facilitate data provision in real time or batch mode.
- Compliance and transparency: GDPR, auditability, and ethical principles must be considered from the outset – especially when it comes to sensitive data or automated decisions.
Our
approach
We accompany companies step by step on their path to AI readiness:
- Assessment & goal definition
We analyze your data landscape, identify potential, and define meaningful priorities — always in the context of your business goals. - Architecture & data modeling
Development or optimization of a robust data model—tailored to existing systems, future scaling, and AI requirements. - Implementation & integration
Setting up data pipelines, ensuring data quality, and connecting systems – whether in the cloud, hybrid, or on-premises. - Enablement & governance
Training specialist departments, introducing data governance structures, and preparing for self-service analytics and machine learning projects.
Typical
pitfalls
- Technology without strategy: AI projects often fail when they start as pure IT initiatives without involving other departments.
- Data silos and shadow IT: Without a central understanding of data, conflicting KPIs and friction losses arise.
- Underestimated data quality: Bad data remains bad data – even with AI.
- Lack of change management: Data-driven work requires new roles, processes, and a new culture.
