Bad data, not bad AI, is what’s stalling enterprise deployments
Nobody is talking about this. While everyone obsesses over model capabilities, enterprise AI deployments are stalling on something much more boring: data quality.

Why it matters
Enterprise AI adoption is hitting a wall — not because models lack capability, but because organizations lack the data infrastructure to feed them. This shifts the bottleneck from compute/models to governance/ops, and signals a structural challenge for the next wave of AI ROI.

Publisher excerpt: The question is no longer whether to deploy AI — it’s why so many deployments stall before delivering returns. The answer usually comes down to a lack of trusted data foundation. As research from Qlik Technologies Inc. and Enterprise Technology Research shows, data quality, availability and…
