QDS and Microsoft Accelerate the Journey from Database Modernization to AI Readiness

AI readiness begins long before an AI model is deployed. It begins with the quality, governance and architecture of the underlying data platform.

QDS, in collaboration with Microsoft, hosted Database Acceleration: From Modernization to AI Readiness, an executive workshop examining how organizations can modernize their database environments and create stronger foundations for AI adoption.

The session explored practical approaches to database modernization, data governance and modern data platforms, helping participants connect infrastructure and data decisions with wider AI and transformation priorities.

The workshop also provided a forum for customers to engage directly with QDS and Microsoft specialists, discuss current challenges and evaluate the steps required to move from legacy environments toward secure, scalable and AI-ready architectures.

We thank all participants, Microsoft and Hisham Mezher for contributing their expertise and perspectives to the discussion.
