When it embarked on an ERP modernization project, the second time proved to be the charm for Allegis Corp., which performed two ERP deployments in seven years. “Two ERP deployments in seven years is not for the faint of heart,” admits Dave Shannon, CIO of the hardware distribution firm. Allegis had been using a legacy on-premises ERP system called Eclipse for about 15 years, which Shannon says met the business needs well but had limitations.

Once the province of the data warehouse team, data management has increasingly become a C-suite priority, with data quality seen as key for both customer experience and business performance.

When most people prompt generative AI, they do so within the paradigm of how they think about what could or should come next. For example, when searching Google, users may ask a question, search for the best Thai restaurant “near me,” or insert specific criteria based on filtered output, such as “best downhill mountain bike for intermediate riders.” That approach is often carried into prompting.

This approach can introduce delays, resulting in less-than-ideal user experiences. Additionally, the growing demand for AI-powered applications has led to a high volume of calls to these LLMs, potentially exceeding budget constraints and creating financial pressures for organizatio
