## Kamiwaza ## AI Accelerator Program kamiwaza.ai # Kamiwaza AI Accelerator Program ## Program Overview The Kamiwaza AI Accelerator is a 5-day, on-site program. It’s designed to help you quickly identify and implement high-value artificial intelligence (AI) outcomes using Kamiwaza’s distributed intelligence platform. It combines strategic planning, technical implementation, and knowledge transfer to deliver immediate business value—while also establishing a foundation for continued, transformational AI use. ## Program Objectives 1. Identify 1-3 high-impact business outcomes achievable within 5 days 2. Implement these outcomes using Kamiwaza’s distributed intelligence platform 3. Transfer knowledge to customer teams for ongoing management and expansion 4. Establish metrics for measuring success and return on investment (ROI) 5. Create a roadmap for future AI initiatives ## Key Value Proposition The Kamiwaza AI Accelerator Program transforms how enterprises approach AI implementation by: 1. **Eliminating the data consolidation barrier:** Implementing AI across distributed data environments without costly data movement 2. **Delivering guaranteed business outcomes:** Focusing on specific, measurable business results rather than just technology deployment 3. **Accelerating time-to-value:** Compressing what would typically be months of implementation into 5 days of focused effort 4. **Building internal capability:** Transferring knowledge to customer teams for ongoing management and expansion 5. **Providing strategic direction:** Creating a roadmap for future AI transformation aligned with business priorities ## Preparation Work In preparation for the on-site program, and to maximize its impact, customers and the Kamiwaza team should complete the following: ### Customers - Complete data landscape questionnaire, identifying key repositories, systems, and security domains - Share relevant documentation on priority business processes - Identify key stakeholders and ensure their availability during the on-site program - Provide secure access credentials for relevant systems, when appropriate - Review and sign data processing agreements - Complete stakeholder interviews with the Kamiwaza team ### Kamiwaza - Review customer data landscape and documentation - Conduct remote discovery sessions with key stakeholders - Prepare initial outcome candidates based on discovery - Configure the baseline Kamiwaza environment - Prepare implementation templates for common use cases - Develop a custom agenda based on customer priorities ## Prerequisites and Requirements For a successful accelerator program, customers should: - Ensure the executive sponsor is committed and available - Set up access to relevant systems and data sources - Get appropriate security clearances and approvals in place - Secure a meeting room with projection capabilities for the duration of the program - Secure a workspace for the Kamiwaza team -
