🚨 Most AI projects never make it to production.

Not because the technology fails, but because companies skip the fundamentals: data governance, clear business goals, security, and realistic success criteria.

Watch our Oracle ACE Directors Charles Kim, Rich Niemiec, and Gary Gordhamer unpack what companies are getting wrong with AI projects today, and what actually turns AI pilots into real business value.

The first Viscosity session at Kscope26 is in the books! 🚀

Rodolfo Rodriguez kicked things off with "APEX Standards That Scale: Naming, Logic, and Code Practices That Work."

Great discussions, thoughtful questions, and a lot of APEX expertise in the room. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and joined the conversation😊

Vendor lock-in rarely feels urgent at first, but over time it starts to show up in every renewal and every budget discussion.

Each cycle becomes harder to justify, with less flexibility and more constraints.

Moving to KVM gives you more control over your infrastructure, helps stabilize costs, and removes the dependency on a single vendor’s pricing model.

Viscosity supports that transition in a way that keeps your operations steady while you make the shift.

When teams hesitate to modernize, it’s usually not because of technology.

It’s the concern about downtime, unexpected issues, and the impact on critical systems. ⚠️

That’s why our approach focuses on planning, testing, and moving in phases, so your workloads stay stable while your infrastructure evolves.

With Viscosity, migration becomes a controlled process rather than a risky leap.

Move without risk: https://bit.ly/4e5BatN
