Many organizations around the world are looking to implement artificial intelligence (AI) into their day-to-day business practices. But if you’re new to AI, it can be difficult to know how to get started.

According to Lalith Subramanian VP, Engineering, Analytics at OpenText™, organizations looking to implement AI should start with their data.

“I always tell people to start with the data,” says Lalith. “To do that, you’ve got to be digital first. Focus on getting your business processes operationally digitized, then start gathering as much data as you can. Start there to get AI into place for you.”
