Artificial intelligence (AI) technology abound, an increasing number of companies across all industries and business sectors are pursuing Digital Transformation projects in an effort to make the most of this emerging technology. AI remains somewhat novel, prompting many business leaders to wonder, “How can I implement AI business solutions for my company?” Fortunately, there are a number of different industry-specific AI business solutions to consider, presenting many opportunities to gain a competitive advantage.
Implementing AI Business Solutions That Generate a Healthy ROI
When implementing a new technology, you want to avoid a scenario where you’re deploying AI just for the sake of saying “we use AI.” Your Digital Transformation project — especially those involving artificial intelligence — ought to address a particular challenge or pain point. With this Digital Transformation strategy, you’ll be maximizing your chances of seeing success and a healthy ROI. Simultaneously, you’ll minimize the chances of becoming one of the 7 in 10 that experiences a failed Digital Transformation project.
The most successful AI implementations are those that are engineered around a challenge or shortcoming. More novel AI implementations may generate some interest out of the starting gate, but they tend to lack the ability to generate a strong ROI, especially in the long term.
The AI business solutions that see the highest success rates are fully customized industry specific technology that is developed using a problem → solution strategy. In short, the AI business solution is truly a solution that targets a pain point or challenge. It’s also prudent to involve end users in the development and testing phases of your AI development project. These individuals will have unique insights that may otherwise prove elusive.
Machine learning technology is often integrated into these artificial intelligence business solutions since it gives you the ability to continually improve your AI platform. The end result is an AI deployment that evolves and changes in a manner that allows this technology to keep pace with your organization’s unique needs.
