About Laura
Laura covers the path from pilot to production and the vendor decisions made along the way. The enterprise AI adoption framework is the through-line: sequencing a first use case, wiring identity and access before an agent touches a real system, and the governed-AI and retrieval groundwork that separates a pilot which converts from one that stalls at the security review.
The Digital Airstrike case study is the sharpest version of the argument — a marketing-technology platform that moved off external AI APIs to a sovereign deployment because every external query was a data transfer, and the compliance exposure was compounding faster than the productivity gain. On the vendor side Laura wrote the Agentforce versus Copilot Studio comparison, where Salesforce cycled through three separate pricing models while Microsoft priced Copilot Studio by credit pack on top of a per-seat Microsoft 365 base. Expect the procurement and platform questions that decide whether a pilot ever ships.
