The Integration Imperative: Why AI Starts (and Succeeds) With webMethods Hybrid Integration | ClearTech Loop x IBM
AI doesn’t fail because of bad models — it fails because of broken connections. Jo Peterson and David Linthicum unpack how IBM’s webMethods Hybrid Integration unites data, applications, and automation for AI that actually delivers.
Episode Description:
When it comes to AI success, it’s not just about the model — it’s about the movement of data.
