The Hitachi Solutions AI Pilot is an engagement to help customers validate whether AI can help solve a business problem or challenge, using Microsoft’s Azure AI technology offering.
The Pilot Approach looks at evaluating an AI use case to add business value by understanding the scale and scope of requirements, with an architecture that can scale to production.
Why is an AI Pilot critical for organisations?
Provide customers with a practical simulation of Microsoft Azure AI technology solutions to measure the return on investment for a given use case
Build a prototype asset which can span one or more Microsoft AI technology services to demonstrate technological capability
Help customers mitigate the risks when deploying a use case to production within their environment
Understand whether the prototype meets the needs of the end user as well as the business drivers
The AI pilot engagement has three key elements:
1. Accelerate AI adoption by designing and implementing a prototype AI use case within an isolated environment for pilot usage.
2. Define ways of working and team approaches to deliver rapid value.
3. Understand AI maturity within the organisation to enable future scaling.
