The Need for AI-Ready Data

According to Daniel Avancini, Indicium’s Chief Data Officer, many enterprises struggle to adopt advanced AI due to outdated data systems. “Most companies understand they can’t do advanced AI use cases because their data platforms aren’t ready,” Avancini told CRN. “They lack governance, security, or the technology to provide AI-ready data.”

How AI Data Squads Work

Each AI Data Squad includes:

Human engineers and consultants
AI agents for automation and optimization
IndiMesh framework for scalable solutions

The service aims to reduce migration times by 90%, according to early results. It automates tasks like project planning, data validation, and optimization, ensuring faster and higher-quality outcomes.

Expansion Plans

While initially targeting Databricks and dbt Labs, Indicium plans to expand the service to other platforms. The launch coincides with Databricks’ Data + AI Summit in San Francisco this week.
