80% of AI projects fail—don’t let yours be one of them. AI initiatives often struggle due to poor data quality, ineffective integration, and slow operationalization. Tech leaders need real-time, reliable data to ensure AI success.
Meroxa provides the infrastructure to fix broken AI workflows—enabling real-time, automated, and scalable data movement.
The Data Challenges That Lead to AI Failures
A recent RAND Corporation report revealed a startling reality: 80% of AI projects fail, leading to significant financial losses and wasted resources. For CTOs, CIOs, CDOs, and other tech leaders, this failure rate poses critical questions about how to design, implement, and scale AI initiatives successfully. The challenges often stem from poor data quality, ineffective integration strategies, and the inability to operationalize AI models efficiently.

At Meroxa, we believe that real-time data movement and infrastructure automation are key to overcoming these challenges. Unlike traditional data integration solutions that struggle with latency, complexity, and inefficiency, Meroxa offers a streamlined approach with automated, real-time streaming capabilities. Our Conduit Platform not only ensures high-speed data availability but also simplifies deployment, reducing time-to-value for AI initiatives. Here’s how Meroxa can support your AI initiatives and drive successful outcomes.
Ensuring High-Quality, Real-Time Data for AI Models
Many AI projects fail because they rely on outdated, incomplete, or low-quality data. AI is only as good as the data it learns from—and without real-time, enriched, and clean data, even the most sophisticated models will underperform.

How Meroxa Helps:
- Real-Time Data Streaming: With Meroxa’s Conduit Platform, organizations can stream real-time data from multiple sources (databases, event streams, APIs) directly into AI pipelines.
- Data Quality & Transformation: Automate data enrichment, cleansing, and normalization before feeding data into AI models, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
- Scalability: Handle high-velocity and high-volume data without performance bottlenecks, ensuring AI models receive timely insights.
Seamless Integration of AI Workflows with Data Infrastructure
Many enterprises struggle with siloed data and disconnected workflows, making it difficult to integrate AI models with operational systems.

How Meroxa Helps:
- Connect AI to Enterprise Systems: Seamlessly integrate AI models with business applications (CRM, ERP, analytics dashboards) to enable real-time decision-making.
- Automated Data Pipelines: Instead of manually stitching together complex data workflows, Meroxa automates AI data integration, reducing development time and human errors.
- Support for AI/ML Tooling: Whether using Databricks, Snowflake, AWS SageMaker, or custom AI models, Meroxa simplifies the movement of data to and from these environments.
Reducing Time-to-Value for AI Initiatives
70% of AI models never make it past the experimental phase because deployment takes too long. By the time an AI model is deployed, the data landscape may have changed, reducing its relevance and effectiveness.

How Meroxa Helps:
- Faster AI Model Deployment: Automate real-time data ingestion into AI training and inference workflows, shortening the feedback loop between data collection and model refinement.
- Monitoring & Observability: Get end-to-end visibility into data movement, transformations, and AI performance metrics to quickly identify and address issues.
- Event-Driven Architectures: Power AI-driven automation by streaming real-time events directly into decision engines and AI models.
Cost Optimization & Infrastructure Efficiency
AI failures often translate to wasted infrastructure spend, with research showing that up to 40% of AI project costs stem from inefficiencies in data movement and infrastructure management.

How Meroxa Helps:
- Cost-Effective Data Movement: Optimize infrastructure spend with event-driven and real-time data pipelines, reducing storage and processing overhead.
- Eliminate Data Duplication & Latency: Avoid unnecessary data replication and ensure that only the most relevant, high-quality data feeds into AI systems.
- Flexible Cloud & Hybrid Deployments: Run AI workloads efficiently across cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments without additional complexity.
AI Governance, Compliance & Security
With increased scrutiny on AI ethics, bias, and regulatory compliance, organizations must ensure governance and transparency in their AI pipelines.
