PoC to Production – Getting Value from LLM Solutions
A Talk by Tom Fowler (Head of AI Adoption, Kainos)
About this Talk
The AI hype is real but turning that excitement into meaningful, production-grade value is where most organisations struggle. Many teams successfully build proof-of-concept (PoC) applications, only to hit a wall when trying to scale them into robust, reliable, and secure production systems.
In this session, I’ll explore how to deliver business value with AI. Providing practical insights into how to bridge the gap between demo and deployment and what considerations are critical for performance, compliance, cost control, and user trust.
Drawing from real use cases and current best practices, this talk is ideal for AI practitioners, engineering leaders, and product teams looking to operationalise AI and extract sustainable ROI from their investments.
