Democratizing AI Development: From Technical Silos to Enterprise-wide Enablement
Democratizing AI development marks a shift from centralized CoEs to enterprise-wide participation, enabling business units to actively engage with AI tools. Initially, adoption was confined to data science teams, with business users limited to consuming prebuilt insights. The progression from rule-based automation to AI/ML tools has empowered nontechnical users to develop cognitive applications without writing code. Generative AI (Gen AI) and agentic AI have accelerated this trend, allowing functional teams to interact with models and build entire process workflows with AI agents. As decision-making decentralizes, enterprises must ensure governance through granular controls, explainability, and resilient fallback mechanisms.

When the Giant Learns from the Neighbor: How Global IT Providers Are Adopting Local Agility in the Nordics
The Nordic IT-services market is booming—expected to climb from US $47.9 billion in 2025 to US $57.5 billion by 2030. Yet price alone no longer wins deals. Nordic customers now want two things at once: local know-how (language, regulations, user insight) and global delivery power (large teams, round-the-clock support). This article argues that competitive advantage is shifting from pure labor-arbitrage to “local intimacy”—the ability to pair Nordic-specific domain fluency with industrialized global delivery. It outlines 4 ways multinationals are borrowing from regional champions: rapid-prototyping labs, hyper-local go-to-market tactics, near-shore GCCs, and “front-plus-scale” alliances exemplified by Tietoevry–Accenture on Google Cloud’s Arek Oy project. A side-by-side matrix reveals how global and local providers now meet in the middle on delivery footprint, governance, pricing, and scale strategy. Buyers should look for proven partnerships and speed-to-value metrics, while providers must blend proximity, ESG readiness, and global reach to stay competitive.
