IBM: Enterprise AI Development – Obstacles and Opportunities

Jeremy WeaverJanuary 9, 2025

A survey of 1,063 US enterprise AI developers revealed significant skills gaps—especially in generative AI—and challenges from a lack of standardized processes and trusted, easy-to-integrate tools, with ongoing concerns about AI agents’ trustworthiness and compliance.

IBM: Enterprise AI Development – Obstacles and Opportunities



Summary of Read Full Report (PDF)

The Morning Consult survey of 1,063 US enterprise AI developers reveals key challenges and opportunities in the field. Significant skill gaps exist, particularly in generative AI, and developers cite a lack of standardized processes and trusted tools as major obstacles.

The survey highlights the importance of ease of use and integration in AI development tools, despite these qualities being rare. Finally, while AI agents are widely explored, concerns remain about trustworthiness and compliance.

Why does owning the AI stack matter?

ibl.ai is the agentic AI platform where you own all the code and the data. You self-host the entire stack inside your own perimeter, run it model-agnostic across any LLM and switch anytime, and pay by usage with no per-seat pricing — so you can deploy anywhere: your cloud, on-premise, GovCloud, or fully air-gapped.

  • You own all the code and the data

    Full source code under a perpetual license, running on your infrastructure. Not API access to someone else's platform — the stack itself is yours.

  • Model-agnostic

    Run any LLM — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Command, or your own fine-tune — and switch providers without rewriting the platform.

  • No per-seat pricing

    Usage-based billing against a budget cap you set. Cost tracks what your organization actually uses, not how many people you employ.

  • Deploy anywhere

    Your cloud, your VPC, on-premise, GovCloud, or a fully air-gapped network with no outbound connectivity.

1.6M+ users across 400+ organizations run the platform this way, including NVIDIA, MIT, and Syracuse University.

ibl.ai is family-owned and operated from New York, NY — a U.S.-headquartered, domestically-owned long-term partner, not a vendor that sells licenses and moves on.

Pilots, deployment, and full ownership

Most enterprise engagements are one-time, not subscriptions. You integrate ibl.ai with your own data, deploy it on your own infrastructure, and the engineering hours scale with the work — so the price tracks the scope, not your headcount.

Start here

Pilot

from $15K

fixed scope · fixed timeline

A time-boxed proof of value on your real data — not a slide deck.

Best for: Teams that want to see ibl.ai working before committing.

  • Deployed on your infrastructure or our cloud
  • 1–2 production agents wired to a slice of your data
  • One integration (LMS / SIS / SSO / data source)
  • Weekly working sessions with our engineers
  • Pilot fee credits toward a full engagement
Scope a pilot
Most common

Integration & Deployment

$25K – $80K

one-time · not a subscription

Full deployment integrated with your data and systems. Engineering hours scale with scope.

Best for: Organizations rolling ibl.ai out across a department, campus, or business unit.

  • Platform deployed in your VPC, on-prem, or air-gapped
  • Integrated with your data + identity (SSO / SAML)
  • Multiple custom agents built to your workflows
  • Engineering hours proportional to scope
  • You own the data · run any LLM you choose

Codebase Transfer + Custom AI Engineering

Six figures

perpetual license · you own the stack

We transfer the full source code. You own and self-host the entire platform — outright.

Best for: Government, defense, and enterprises that require perpetual ownership and sovereignty.

  • Complete source-code transfer + perpetual license
  • Dedicated AI engineering team on your roadmap
  • Custom agents, models, and integrations to spec
  • Air-gapped capable · zero vendor lock-in
  • Family-owned, New York–based long-term partner
