Graph AI: A New Silver Bullet from AI Vendors?

The generative AI (genAI) hype cycle is currently experiencing its trough of disillusionment, particularly in the application of retrieval augmented generation pipelines to enterprise applications. Despite numerous attempts, these systems have struggled to reduce hallucinations in output to levels acceptable for enterprise use.

While it may be tempting to think of large language model ops (LLMOps) as a subset of machine learning ops (MLOps), that would prevent us from exploiting the real benefits of building enterprise applications with large language models (LLMs) – scale and speed of development.

Legacy systems are typically challenging for CIOs – they often support critical business processes; they are expensive to replace and increasingly don’t meet business needs.

ERP Failure and Lessons in Focus

In November 2023, IBRS published an article titled ‘The Top Reasons Why ERP Projects Fail – Lessons From the Front’, which explored the top seven reasons why ERP projects fail and how to mitigate them. In the short time since, we have seen the reporting of a number of high profile ERP projects that have been abandoned with costs in the 70–200 million dollar range.
