2025/10/13

Ninety-five percent of enterprise generative AI projects fail, a staggering figure revealed by an MIT study. This failure isn’t rooted in insufficient infrastructure, as some vendors claim, but rather in human expertise and preparation. Many enterprises lack the talent required to build, train, and refine foundational AI models. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, companies would achieve greater success by leveraging mature, licensed AI models developed at scale by industry-leading providers

2025/09/29

Traditional technology analyst firms are facing growing skepticism from enterprises, especially after Gartner’s recent miss in its financial targets. For decades, these firms have shaped cloud computing and technology decisions, but their legacy is marred by a long history of biased and often inaccurate advice.

In a world that syncs by default, your data rarely lives in one place—it’s copied across apps, cloud providers, backups, and content networks, often crossing borders. That expands who could potentially see it: the service itself, infrastructure vendors, third‑party processors, and, with proper orders, law enforcement. Jurisdiction matters because laws like the U.S. CLOUD Act and EU GDPR shape access and obligations, so choose region‑locked storage and review government‑request and data‑location
