The Forward-Deployed Engineer Needs a New Operating Model for 2027
Discover how a new forward-deployed engineering model helps enterprises modernize legacy systems, govern AI agents, and deliver production-ready AI at scale.

According to MIT, only 5% of AI pilots succeed. Ask us how.
The Reality
A recent MIT study revealed that 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail. Too many organizations get stuck in proof-of-concepts (POCs) that never scale. Pilots are often narrow, disconnected from data, and not designed for real-world adoption.
The headlines are focused on the 95% that don’t work. At Altimetrik, we believe the real story is the 5% that succeed—and what makes them different.
AI is not an experiment. It’s a business transformation journey. The companies that succeed treat AI as adoption-first, not pilot-first.
At Altimetrik, this is what we enable:
The Bottom Line
AI isn’t failing – pilots are. The difference between being part of the 95% or the 5% comes down to mindset and execution.
At Altimetrik, we help enterprises move beyond pilots to true adoption.
95% fail. Be the 5%. Ask us how.

Explore how AI leadership can drive shared prosperity through competitive economies, business transformation, workforce development, and trusted AI adoption.

Most organizations can tell you what CVEs they found last quarter. Few can tell you which packages will become a problem next month or which AI skills are running in production without a certified identity. This piece is about closing that gap.
