AI-Ready Does Not Mean AI-Capable, as featured in The AI Journal 📖

Too many companies rush into AI with excitement but without the proper infrastructure. And when there’s no solid foundation, things fall apart.

In this article for The AI Journal, Michael Simms, VP of Data & AI at Columbus, delivers a powerful reality check: Attitude alone won’t make AI successful. Execution does.

What actually builds AI capability? ✅
- A solid foundation:  Read more...clean data, strong systems, clear strategy
- Real employee buy-in, not just boardroom buzz
- Cross-functional task forces to lead AI execution
- And a hard truth: AI won’t solve bad processes—it will expose them

🏃 AI should accelerate your business, not slow it down.

🔗 Read the full post in The AI Journal and rethink what it really means to be AI-ready. https://aijourn.com/ai-ready-does-not-mean-ai-capable-why-attitude-without-infrastructure-fails-every-time/

Tired of spending hours manually tagging products?🗂️

One of our clients faced the same issue, reviewing every product photo, note colours, characters, and themes, and enter every detail into multiple spreadsheets.

We built an AI system that now automates 95% of the tagging by recognising visual elements, learning from past tags, and adapting quickly, giving them more time to focus on what matters.🎯

[Watch Video] M3 Data Archiving: Start Now, Benefit Forever

Start strong by cleaning and optimizing the burden of legacy data. Early archiving helps reduce storage costs, improve data quality & user experience, streamlines transitions, shortens migration timelines, and prevents old issues from following you into your new system.

In this session, you’ll get a practical introduction to the archiving process—including key differences between M3 On-Premise and M3  Read more...Cloud Edition (M3CE) environments. You'll also learn how to start archiving in a simple, safe, and effective way—whether your database is 5 or 20 years old.

Whether you're still On-Prem or already in the Cloud, it's never too early—or too late—to begin. Archiving is a continuous improvement journey that starts with a single step and extends even beyond your current environment.

Presented by: Frantisek Slepanek, Columbus Team Lead of Delivery & Service Development
