Most people start with artificial intelligence (AI) the same way: an AI prompt. We open a chat window, type something in, and see what comes back. If it is useful, we use it. If it is not, we try again with different words. That is a reasonable...
AI adoption has moved fast. Most organisations have invested in tools, run training sessions, and encouraged their people to experiment. What most AI strategies have not done is answer the harder question: what does this change actually ask of the people who do the work? That question gets far less attention than...
AI in Software Delivery | By Bharn Burgers What Has Shifted in AI in Software Delivery Most conversations about AI in software delivery start with speed. Faster coding. Faster testing. Faster everything. That's not wrong, but it misses the bigger change. The Problem Every project loses what it learns The teams that will deliver the most value...
AI Governance · Shadow AI · Compliance-first adoption Shadow AI: the hidden AI risk already inside your business Most shadow AI use does not begin with a clever AI initiative. It begins with a deadline. Someone needs to summarise customer complaints before a...
By Willo van der Merwe - Technical Competency Lead. Recently we ran an internal session where we explored a fairly simple-sounding problem: How do you let someone query a relational database using nothing but natural language? In other words, instead of writing SQL, a user could ask something like: “Tell me how many hours were...
By Willo van der Merwe. When it comes to Agentic AI, the last two years have been predominantly about exploration. We’ve tested models, prototyped ideas, broken things, and learned where generative AI genuinely helps, where it doesn’t, and where it simply adds noise. This year feels different. We’re moving out of the demo...
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the loudest conversation in boardrooms, tech teams, and strategy sessions across the world. Every business feels the pressure to “do something with AI.” Whether it’s generative tools, automation, or agentic AI, the message often sounds the same: adopt AI immediately, or get left behind. But here’s...
By Anton Schaffer - Principal Data Engineer. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we all work, and for Data Engineers the shift is especially noticeable. The role of a Data Engineer has always been about building and maintaining the pipelines that move data reliably from source to destination. With AI becoming...
By Anton Schaffer - Principal Data Engineer. AI-assisted development has become a game changer across many fields, but in data engineering it’s particularly disruptive. After all, data engineers spend half their lives untangling JSON, arguing with SQL about GROUP BYs, and trying to remember if it’s left join or left outer join...
Agentic AI - the software systems that pursue objectives independently through reasoned decision-making, judgment, and the use of tools and resources - is at the forefront of artificial intelligence’s (AI) evolution. In financial services, it offers the ideal way to handle complex and variable data. Which is why, at Saratoga, we are happy to share how...
