A dollar is easy to understand. A token is harder to pin down, which makes it easy to overspend and overcommit. Shannon Kaiser joins Ron Baker, Ed Kless, and John Dierkhising to explain why that's a real financial risk for anyone bringing in AI workloads.

If that's your business, it pays to know how that spend is measured before the bill shows up.

Great chat on The Soul of Enterprise podcast. Thanks for having us.

Almost half of organizations don't have the data skills they need to move forward.

It shows up in familiar places. Patches that slide to next quarter. Backups nobody has tested a restore from. A query that ran fine for three years and then didn't.

Summit's Database Management gives you a dedicated database administrator (DBA) from day one, plus 24/7 monitoring and a 15-minute response time. SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle, on-prem, hybrid, or private cloud.

Please welcome our new Chief Financial Officer, Ron Oertell, JD, CFA!

Ron's background covers a lot of ground: CFO at fintech and high-growth companies, finance attorney in New York, and fund manager. Add an undergrad degree in criminal justice and economics to the mix, and we're pretty sure no budget line at Summit will go uninvestigated.

Please join us in giving Ron a warm welcome! We promise to submit our expense reports on time.

"If you're just starting now to get your AI strategy in place, you're already a year behind."

The good news: starting now still works, as long as you start with the outcome. Do you want to deliver services more efficiently? Package them into monthly subscriptions or fixed-fee offerings? Expand beyond your usual practice? The answer shapes everything that comes after.

One more from our CPA Academy webinar with Ron Baker and Shannon Kaiser.
