More data means more value.
However, today’s enterprise data is evolving rapidly to meet the increasing demand for the upcoming wave of AI-powered applications. To be able to lead in the age of AI, companies need to learn how to unleash the full value of data. And they can only do this with a strong digital core on cloud - the only place where data gains scale, agility and the power to drive business reinvention.
Without this foundation, Gartner predicts that by 2025, 80% of organizations trying to scale their digital business will fail due to inadequate data and analytics governance.
The result? Strong and modern data foundation has become a critical driver of Enterprise AI.
Yet, there’s a limitation.
Data has become bigger, more complex, more siloed and difficult to unlock.
What are the steps companies should take to unleash the power of the next-level data value and capitalize on AI and GenAI opportunity?
In this article, we explore the importance of building a strong data foundation and why the cloud will play a crucial role in establishing a modern data framework. We also examine how tech companies like BlueCloud can help clients transform their data foundation in the cloud and accelerate business reinvention through AI.
Modern Data is the Key to Unlocking AI and GenAI
GenAI is a transformative force that is making disruptions across businesses. However, in order for GenAI to operate efficiently, there must be high-quality, intelligent data at the heart of AI models.
Kerem Koca, CEO of BlueCloud, states: "The explosion of data presents enormous opportunities for businesses that are prepared to take advantage of it. Building a robust data strategy is crucial for leveraging AI effectively, as quality data is essential for AI to deliver results. Now is the time to embrace a modern data foundation on cloud and unlock your data for AI.”
In the coming year, crucial steps for companies will involve preparing their data, selecting the appropriate models, and customizing them to fit their specific needs. It's not surprising that a 2023 MIT CDOIQ survey of 350 Chief Data Officers and similar roles revealed that 45% of CDOs consider data governance a top priority.
What’s missing?
The main obstacles to building a strong data foundation often include outdated data infrastructures and the lack of a modern data stack. To be able to break through the gridlock, businesses need to take a more strategic and disciplined approach to solve the data complexity in 3 key areas: quick access to data, data governance, and data privacy and compliance.
This new data- and AI-driven world is powered by the cloud, which allows enterprise data to exist seamlessly anywhere, breaking down silos and enabling businesses to analyze data collectively in a unified environment. This approach unlocks critical insights – a prerequisite for deploying advanced AI and ML.
However, although moving to cloud opens numerous opportunities for continuous reinvention, it does come with challenges. From lacking a strong cloud migration strategy and increased cloud migration costs to data security and compliance risks and complex IT infrastructure, cloud migration challenges are mounting, and businesses fail to reap sizable rewards.

BlueCloud’s Edge: Building Scalable, Affordable, High-Performing Teams for Data and AI Excellence
“Building scalable, affordable and high-performing teams is a core competency for BlueCloud.” - Kerem Koca, CEO of BlueCloud
A committed team of global talents focused on foundational data architecture and innovation can rapidly drive cultural change. BlueCloud is on a mission to help businesses build a strong digital core, set new performance frontiers and deliver enterprise AI through high-performing and scalable teams and deep data engineering heritage.
Two key differentiators set BlueCloud apart from others:
Scalable, affordable, on-demand and high-achieving teams are at the heart of BlueCloud’s expertise
Many companies grow their talent pool through mergers and acquisitions and have separate teams for each country. BlueCloud, on the other hand, operates as a single, unified entity where everyone is part of the same global team, without being confined by geographic boundaries which often cause team fragmentation and inefficiencies.
“BlueCloud is focused on building a unified, global team that operates without geographic and operational boundaries, ensuring consistency, collaboration, and agility across all our operations. Central to our success is the democratization and empowerment of a global workforce capable of driving our mission forward with passion and excellence,” says Kerem.
BlueCloud’ unique and flexible borderless model and Remote First strategy allow them to provide clients with world-class talent at a more cost-effective rate and deliver high-quality, innovative solutions.
BlueCloud is an innovation catalyst, empowering companies to move from use cases to excellence
As AI and GenAI dominate the global market, BlueCloud is helping companies gain momentum by connecting technology to value. They act as a trusted partner, cutting through the noise to identify the right technologies that address the underlying needs rather than starting with the technology itself. Their unique approach focuses on helping companies truly understand the why behind employing certain technology to ensure they deliver true value with confidence and efficiency and advance from use cases to new performance frontiers.
