How to Choose the Right Generative AI Vendor for Your Enterprise?

In the rapidly evolving landscape of generative AI, selecting the right vendor has become increasingly challenging. To help organizations make informed decisions, Squirro has developed the Enterprise GenAI Evaluation Checklist. This comprehensive guide is designed to streamline the vendor selection process and can serve as a template for RFP preparation, helping organizations clearly communicate their needs and expectations to potential vendors.

Why Use the Enterprise GenAI Evaluation Checklist?

With over two-thirds of AI initiatives failing due to poor preparation, ensuring your organization is AI ready is critical. Strengthening strategic alignment, data and infrastructure readiness, and operational capacity are essential to closing gaps before they derail projects, increasing success rates and minimizing costly setbacks and delays

Our checklist provides a systematic approach to evaluating your Enterprise GenAI needs, ensuring you assess capabilities, compatibility, and value propositions effectively. This includes:

• Feature Requirements:

  This section helps you detail the specific feature requirements for your AI solution, covering taxonomy, chat, search, and data management needs, ensuring comprehensive functionality and robust data protection (Connectors, ML Model Development, GraphRAG, Guardrail Management,...).

• Technical Considerations:

  Here, we guide you in defining the comprehensive scope of work for your AI project, detailing solution types, success metrics, technical requirements, and integration needs to ensure a well-defined and successful implementation (Operating Language, Cloud Instance, LLM Section,...).

• Security and Compliance Requirements:

  Specify your security and compliance requirements step by step to ensure prospective solutions meet your expectations in terms of robust data protection with detailed security protocols, access control lists, encryption, and compliance measures.

• Project Overview:

  Follow the structure provided by the checklist to outline your AI project's objectives, use cases, requirements, and key milestones to ensure successful implementation.
