What does it really take to build an AI-ready enterprise when your data is fragmented, teams operate in silos, and years of technology decisions have created complexity that no large language model can magically fix?
In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Raymon Ohmori, Senior Principal Software Engineer at Valiantys, and Jiecheng Dong, Senior Software Engineer at Valiantys, about the work that goes into enterprise AI adoption and why successful AI transformation begins long before companies deploy agents, copilots, or autonomous workflows.
Using Valiantys' work with Mercedes as a case study, Raymon and Jiecheng explain how modernizing software delivery and connecting data across teams can create the foundation required for AI systems to deliver meaningful business value. We discuss why fragmented data, organizational silos, poor governance, and unclear business problems continue to prevent many companies from moving beyond AI pilots.
