Moving past Gen AI’s honeymoon phase: Seven hard truths for CIOs to get from pilot to scale?
The GenAI Hype Cycle is at its peak now — and we already see signs of the trough of the disillusionment phase, with many initiatives failing because of cost, AI entry barrier, and organizational unreadiness in IT operating model and structure. With high business expectations from adopting AI, many CIO struggles to deliver the promise, fearing that the disillusionment phase will be their dawn. But there is hope — McKinsey is providing a hard truth in the article, and BlueSoft is offering a remedy, moving your AI adoption directly into the peak of productivity.
Expert's Voice:
Doing AI is hard, even if your needs are limited only to fine-tuning models with your company data. And in this sentence, there are already three cognitive loads you will encounter: needs, which need to be discovered and prioritized; fine-tuning models which require a deep understanding of how AI models work — and company data, which can be messy. That is why we have created a BlueAI framework, covering inspiration workshops, offering "Starboost for AI" managed RAG runtime platform limiting the engineering entry barrier for models adoption — and data management strategy & transformation. With us, adopting AI does not end up with a nightmare, but a competitive advantage-boosting journey. "Ultimately, getting the full value from gen AI requires companies to rewire how they work, and putting in place a scalable technology foundation is a key part of that process" - says McKinsey. "Luckily, we have managed services to all those aspects" — says BlueSoft!

Dive into the world of Platform Engineering, where we discuss the importance of a solid foundation for IT solutions. Gain insights into designing and building robust, scalable platforms that can drive your business forward.?
How To Measure Platform Engineering?
Internal Developer Platform done well always starts from a business case & strategy planning. One of the key elements of expectation management is a return on investment — which, at some point, needs to be carefully calculated to make further decisions. ?
So... how to calculate it? The first step would be to define the right metrics and gather data through a Platform lifecycle. One example of metrics definition — MONK — you can find in the article “How to measure Platform Engineering”.?
Expert’s voice:?
The platform is not just a DevOps, nerdy site project. It always has to be a strategic decision, followed by work organization definition and IT Operating Model adoption. Such a change is big — so it needs clear business goals, expressed with business metrics. MONK is a good example of how to define it — but we need to carefully put priorities on the metrics, depending on what is to be achieved with platforms: is it scaling? Does it cost optimization of SDLC? Is it... IT Experts turnover? That is why we approach Platforms in BlueSoft both from strategic planning and technology adoption. With our managed Platform Engineering Service we analyze the cognitive load of the Teams performing SDLC — leading to Platform Services definition, Platform Operating Model, and right business metrics to track platform success & expectations delivery. We have also created Starboost: our composable Platform, which speeds up organizing new and existing DevOps tooling orchestration and internal developer portal delivery. Within the last 6 years, I do not hesitate to claim that we mastered this area pretty well.?
