From Pilot to Production
From Pilot to Platform — GenAI Infrastructure Choices that Scale
45-minute hands-on workshop led by Eric Leroy, Manager at Colombus
Your GenAI PoC is validated. What's next? This interactive workshop guides you through critical decisions to transform your pilot into a robust, scalable enterprise platform.
Pragmatic workshop format:
Vendor-neutral, decision-focused approach
Minimal theory, maximum practical exchange
Real-world experience sharing among peers
What we'll build together:
Decision matrix for your GenAI stack (build vs buy vs hybrid)
Cost/performance/security trade-off framework tailored to your context
Governance checklist for regulated environments
Realistic budget estimates (CAPEX/OPEX)
Key topics covered:
Common scaling pitfalls and how to avoid them
Critical trade-offs: latency vs costs, flexibility vs complexity
Minimum viable governance vs over-engineering
Post-deployment ROI and success metrics
Take away: A decision framework you can immediately use to validate your GenAI infrastructure choices with your executive committee.
Target audience: Infrastructure leaders, architects, and technical decision-makers facing GenAI production deployment.
What we'll cover:
Swiss-specific requirements: data residency, privacy regulations, and sector compliance
Platform architecture patterns: centralized vs. federated approaches, cloud strategies, and hybrid deployments
Technology stack choices: managed services vs. open source for AI gateways, vector databases, and RAG pipelines
Security and governance: data isolation, key management, prompt governance, and audit trails
Operational excellence: MLOps/LLMOps practices, cost optimization, and performance tuning
