Why 95% of AI Initiatives Struggle

MIT research confirms what I've seen for 25+ years:
Only 9% of enterprises have data ready for AI.

The successful 9% understand one truth:
Architecture determines ALL
renovation or remodeling outcomes.
AI Integration is no exception.

The path to emerging AI success is indeed a classic one
— Foundation first, intelligence follows.

That much is entirely expected, as before.

Yet now the "Fast Follower" ticket
no longer buys access to green,
only the basic pass to watch the others play.

Your Path to AI Readiness

Where You Are Now

  • Data scattered across 12+ systems
  • 20+ years of technical debt
  • Legacy systems that won't integrate
  • Board demanding AI yesterday

With 95% of AI pilots failing (MIT) and 63% lacking proper data practices (Gartner),
you're not alone in this struggle.

Where You Need to Be

  1. Unified data architecture (but your systems won't talk)
  2. Clean domain boundaries (but everything's entangled)
  3. Modern event patterns (but you're drowning in point-to-point)
  4. AI-ready infrastructure (but you can't even get clean data)

The catch: You can't fix one without fixing all.

How We Bridge That Gap

What we establish:

  1. Clean Context Boundaries
  2. Well Encapsulated Domains
  3. AI Within Bounded Contexts

Proven at Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, Blue Cross NC.

The ASE difference: Competence gets it done.
Experience gets it done fast enough to matter!
No need to boil the ocean — just the right spots.

Organizations that fix architecture first achieve ~3x higher AI ROI
We've proven this across 11 enterprise transformations.

What ASE delivers:

  1. Problem validation in days, not months
  2. Immediate tactical wins while building strategic foundation
  3. Phased recovery that doesn't break operations
  4. Sustained momentum through each transition

Field-tested playbooks for surgical architectural fixes — refined across 11 enterprises since 2017.

Our Three-Phase Approach

1

Architecture Discovery

2-3 Weeks

Map your system landscape. Identify integration points.
Document data flows. Create your AI readiness roadmap.

Outcome: Clear path from current state to AI-ready
Keystone: Real business domain models
Deliverable: Corporate Taxonomy & Readiness Assessment
2

Foundation Modernization

8-12 Weeks

Implement domain boundaries. Establish data governance.
Build clean APIs. Create intelligent integration layers.

Outcome: Architecture that supports AI at scale
Keystone: Clean, managed boundaries between systems
Deliverable: Enterprise Architecture Model & Refactoring Roadmap

Minimalist and pragmatic — no overengineering.

3

AI Implementation

When Ready

Deploy AI on solid foundations. No hallucinations.
No integration chaos. Measurable business value.

Outcome: AI that actually works in production
Keystone: Domain-aware AI within Bounded Context
Deliverable: AI-Augmented Business Capabilities

Common sense isn't common;
Common architecture must be.

— Vadim Kuhay, ASE

This is why one working domain unlocks all domains.
Common patterns, uncommon results.

I've caught a lot of flak for this slogan.
But only from those still in the 95%.
