Hogyan épül fel egy valóban működőképes mesterségesintelligencia-stratégia nagyvállalati környezetben?

Linczmayer Zsófia, a KPMG associate partnere és Ignácz Péter, szenior menedzser a KPMG Digital Trends legújabb részében megosztották tapasztalataikat a leggyakoribb implementációs kihívásokról: AI-érettség, adatminőség, szervezeti változáskezelés, üzleti célokhoz igazított technológiai megoldások.

Az epizódból kiderül, miért nem elég egy generatív AI-modellt integrálni, hogyan érdemes priorizálni a lehetséges use case-eket, és milyen feltételek mellett érdemes egyáltalán mesterséges intelligenciában gondolkodni.

KPMG Digital Trends: Mikor vethető be az AI?

You know how running a business often means juggling a dozen systems just to get through the day? At Precomp Malaysia, we thought—why not bring it all under one roof?

So we built a business management system based on Odoo. It's open-source, flexible, and actually easy to use. Whether you're managing sales, keeping an eye on your inventory, scheduling your team, or handling payroll—it’s all right there, in one place.

And the extras? Things like helpdesk tools, quality control, appointment scheduling? They're built in, so you’re not bouncing between apps or dealing with clunky workarounds.

Best of all, we offer lifetime free access, free Peppol submission, and upgrade options that won’t break the bank.

If you’ve been waiting for an ERP that fits the way you work—not the other way around—Precomp is here when you’re ready.
