A's Hardest Step? Going From Proof Of Concept To Production.
DDN, Monday, August 11th, 2025
In Computer Weekly, Antony Adshead talks with Sven Oehme, CTO at DDN, about why AI projects often stall after the proof of concept.
Pilots are easy to spin up, but production reveals performance gaps, scaling issues, and the need for tighter collaboration across networking, storage, compute, and data science.
Sven says the key is to design for scale from day one, unite the right teams, and secure C-level sponsorship. The POC is just the warm-up and the real work starts when you scale.
