Description
The market is flooded with AI platforms, from no-code SaaS solutions to custom LLM pipelines. How do you pick the one that truly solves your problem? Dr Kampakis breaks down the selection process using his “Objectives → Capabilities → Tools” (OCT) methodology.
Starting with a laser-focused definition of your business goal (be it increasing sales, reducing churn, or streamlining supply-chains) he shows how to translate that goal into the data, modelling, and integration capabilities you actually need. Attendees will compare build-versus- buy options, evaluate vendor claims, and calculate total cost of ownership (TCO) and ROI.
Real case studies reveal common pitfalls (e.g., hidden data-preparation costs) and how to avoid them. You’ll leave able to justify your tool choices to finance, IT, and the board with confidence.
