Forward Deployed · AI
Industry studies put the share of enterprise AI pilots that never reach production — or never deliver measurable return — as high as 80–95%. Altivate’s AI Forward Deployed Engineers exist to close that gap: senior AI engineers embedded in your team, building agents, models and retrieval on your own data — SAP and beyond — until they run in production, evaluated, governed and adopted. Not consultants with a roadmap, and not the engineers building your system of record: the people who make your data act.
From your data to working AI
Six disciplines, one embedded pod — everything it takes to move AI from idea to governed production.
Agentic AI that works multi-step business tasks — triaging requests, reconciling records, drafting actions — with human approval where it matters. Built with SAP Business AI and Joule agents where the work lives in SAP, and custom agent frameworks where it doesn’t.
Forecasting, anomaly detection and classification models trained on your own transactions and telemetry, not generic benchmarks. Shipped only when they beat the process they replace.
Grounded answers over your documents, policies and SAP records — with source citations and your access model enforced, so every answer is traceable and the wrong person never sees it.
The pipelines that make enterprise data AI-ready: extraction, cleaning, features, freshness. It is most of the real work in enterprise AI, and the pod does it first — not as an afterthought.
Evaluation suites that gate every release, guardrails for what the AI may and may not do, and monitoring for drift, cost and quality in production. The discipline that turns a model into a system.
Insight is not the product; the completed action is. The pod wires AI into the places work actually happens — SAP transactions, business apps, workflows — so output lands as a finished step, not another dashboard.
What an AI FDE pod ships
Concrete things a pod puts into production — on your data.
When an AI FDE pod is the right call
The situations where embedded AI engineers change the trajectory fastest.
Governed delivery, proven foundations
There is no shortage of AI demos; the scarce thing is AI running governed in production. Altivate’s AI FDE pods work inside your security model, ship behind evaluation gates, and operate within Altivate’s ISO/IEC 27001-certified environment — with human oversight designed in, not bolted on. And because most enterprise AI value hides in the systems that run the business, it matters that the engineers building your AI sit alongside an SAP Gold Partner practice with a certified Partner Center of Expertise: they understand the data models and processes your AI has to act on.
