What are the greatest risks and rewards of layering AI/ML into your infrastructure?

We worked with IDC to uncover the core elements companies need to get a headstart with AI data strategy. Here's what they said.

Most organizations rush to scale AI, but fragmented data, governance gaps, skills shortages, but unclear ROI and underpreparedness stall progress. IDC’s InfoBrief explores these barriers and why AI success hinges on solid data foundations and the right partners to deliver business value.

Most organizations rush to scale AI, but  progress stalls when the data foundation isn't AI-ready. IDC’s InfoBrief explores how – and why – AI success hinges on solid data foundations and the right partners to deliver business value.
Most organizations want Cognitive Solutions, like AI and ML, to drive better outcomes like productivity gains, but lack a clear vision. The IDC Analyst Connection paper explores how to translate data and AI strategy into practical steps, clarifying which capabilities to prioritize, how to organize people, and where services providers can accelerate.

There's more to AI than meets the eye.

AI is a broad and constantly evolving collection of disciplines, including ML, LLMs, Agentic, and others.

We help you make thoughtful choices about the infrastructure, processes, and technologies underpinning your long-term data strategy, starting with the critical data foundations.

AI/ML Strategy

Identify high-impact use cases and create a tailored AI/ML roadmap aligned with business objectives. We apply product management principles to identify and develop those high-value cognitive computing use cases.

Once we've homed in on the best combination of practices, methodologies, and tools, we share our observations through a custom implementation plan. No matter if you're working with legacy infrastructure or you're born in the cloud.

AI-Data Foundation Readiness

Once you've identified high-impact use cases, and are ready to move forward with a roadmap, we help you architect your data foundations to support AI. This work ultimately makes AI into an "add-on" to your environment rather than a complex start-from-scratch endeavor.

We ensure your data is clean and structured to support scalable, high-performance AI/ML solutions in the long term.

Predictive Modeling and Deployment

Apply AI-based predictive analytics to forecast trends, understand customer behavior, and identify operational risks with accuracy.

From initial design to production launch, we anchor AI/ML-driven forecasts into your daily operations, whether you're using predictive for Sales and Marketing, Finance, Research and Development, or other critical business units.

We ensure your models stay accurate and deliver ongoing value.

What is AI and where can you apply it purposefully? Let's break it down.

Critical Data Foundations for AI-Readiness

Data is scattered, inconsistent, and unreliable, causing delays and blockages across the board, including in analytics and AI projects. We help unify and clean data by building trusted, governed foundations.

Production-Grade Machine Learning

Many companies struggle to turn ML prototypes into trusted tools because of messy data, unclear ownership, complex integration, and missing monitoring. We help deliver reliable ML through strong data foundations and governance.

Accurate, Trustworthy Generative AI

LLMs, and other GenAI tools, deliver impressive outputs but risk hallucinations, privacy breaches, and unpredictable costs without robust grounding and controls. We help secure and optimize your GenAI tools with governance, grounding, and cost management.

Purposeful Agentic AI

Agentic AI promised to automate complexity – like a chatbot that handles FAQs, or helps scientists conduct analyses – boosting efficiency by reducing human effort. But fragmented data and poor system links are the Achilles' heel of true agentic AI. We help implement safe, reliable agents with guardrails and controls.

DI Squared is a highly trusted partner with superb technical leadership and a strong focus on customer success.  I have worked closely with DI Squared on all aspects of our data strategy including MDM migration, EDW design and delivery, and Qlik BI development and feel confident I can count on their team to deliver on business-critical solutions.

James Newsom

Sr. Director, Data Services, Jacuzzi

We're very impressed by DI Squared's ability to quickly identify, understand, and address our challenges. With them, we enhanced reporting to better support management and the field, which greatly improved our understanding of corporate results. They helped our organization to better understand our analytics platforms and gave our team the confidence to create more advanced reporting. Their extensive expertise, ability to provide broad support, and recommendations for short- and long- term roadmaps made a lasting impact.  

Michael Leong

VP, Finance & Adminstration, Transcourt Inc.

Paired with DI Squared developers' expertise, Qlik has revolutionized the way we visualize and interact with our data. Its robust capabilities allow us to connect to numerous data sources, customize metrics, create dynamic visuals, and perform ad hoc reporting efficiently. Together, DI Squared and Qlik allowed us to rapidly address critical data reporting gaps and equip our teams with actionable insights to drive improvements across all processes within operations. They’ve streamlined our day-to-day and hour-to-hour operations – without the burden of manual builds.

Sandra Grogg

Technical Product Manager, Dorman Products

DI Squared actively listened to our pain points, digested that information, and delivered an exceptional solution that’s beyond what we’d envisioned. CSN's Auxiliary Services department was manually managing multiple spreadsheets from multiple data sources and manually creating data reports for leadership. This process consumed significant resources, and created data accuracy concerns. DI Squared helped us organize our raw data with API connections. Now, we can customize data in any format, helping the reader easily digest data/information. We trust the integrity of our data.

If there is ever something I cannot figure out, with DI, I have a huge team of people behind me. DI Squared has been the most responsive consulting firm that I have ever worked with.

Chad Miller

VP of Finance, Hood Industries

Rakesh and the DI Squared team have been instrumental in assisting us with the development of daily management dashboards for key performance indicators (KPIs) at a reasonable cost. They are very responsive to our needs and creative – both technically and with on-going support. This tool is widely shared throughout the organization and with our client over the past 10 years.

Darlene Evans-Borinski

Sr. Director of Finance & Accounting, DNC Parks & Resorts at KSC, Inc.

It has been refreshing to work with the team at DI Squared. The people we work with demonstrate time and again that the company values a long term relationship with Gehls. The willingness to forgo short term revenue to provide an appropriate solution and the ability to always bring the best solutions to the table is greatly appreciated. We look forward to continuing this partnership and solving problems together.

With DI Squared Qlik implementation best practices, we've met our project goal of implementing an enterprise-wide information management system with matured data infrastructure to provide accurate and timely analytics/metrics/reporting. Our project included over 1,500 data tables, having trillions of data records, sourced from 10 major systems. That's all now integrated with Qlik, which delivers analytics/reporting based on the COE's needs. In turn, it eliminates silos and achieves significant collaboration while reducing dependence on IT.
