Why an AI CoE?
Zoho BI and Analytics Tools
Challenges Enterprises Face
Enterprises often struggle with fragmented AI projects that fail to scale or deliver ROI, compounded by a scarcity of specialized AI/ML, RPA, and GenAI talent. The absence of enterprise-wide governance frameworks, growing information security concerns, and the challenge of balancing innovation with operational stability further hinder successful AI adoption.
Role of an AI CoE
An AI CoE serves as the strategic and execution hub, defining enterprise-wide AI roadmaps while ensuring governance, security, and compliance. It establishes repeatable frameworks, prioritizes high-value use cases linked to measurable outcomes, and delivers scalable, sustainable AI solutions that drive long-term business impact.
