Barry Padgett is CEO of Amperity, a company using AI to solve this problem: large companies now have lots and lots of marketing data, but it is all coming from different systems and services. That means you might have info about a customer in different places across your portfolio, without the ability to integrate that data to get a more complete understanding of that customer. Especially as access to third party data diminishes, Padgett explains how the company can help big retailers and more streamline their information and ultimately improve customer experience.

While many are enthusiastic about AI, few companies have a smart roadmap in place for its development and implementation. Instead, many people either start from scratch and try to build the capability internally from zero, or buy up other AI companies without much of a plan.

In this episode he elaborates on what that entails and how organizations can approach AI implementation in an informed way to ensure success for their business.
