Every leadership team is under pressure to "do something with AI." So licenses get bought, a pilot gets launched — and six months later usage is flat and nobody can point to a return. After twenty years of watching technology rollouts succeed and fail, I can tell you the reasons are predictable. And fixable. That's also why SmartWorks AI advises across the complete Microsoft ecosystem — because AI adoption rests on foundations most firms ignore: your licensing, your infrastructure, and your data readiness.
