- [Enterprise Grade AI ](https://freschesolutions.com/blog/enterprise-grade-ai/): Enterprise Grade AI, in production throughout your organization, is quite different than the generalized AI toolkits we have all seen espoused in the last 18 months.  Many of those tools qualify as “helpers” or productivity enhancers for individuals.  The business case is often exciting because of what they offer to consumers.  Quick wins using AI in business-to-business applications are more the focus of this post.  Real profits come from applying well researched business rules throughout your organization. This is Enterprise Grade AI. To do this, you first need a single source of truth that structures and governs your organization’s data.  In Business Intelligence terms, data structured for this purpose is called a Modern Data Estate.

## Products
- [OpsIQ](https://freschesolutions.com/products/opsiq/): OpsIQ is an AI operations assistant for IBM i. Investigate system messages with one click, ask plain-language questions about your system, or paste alerts from your existing monitoring tools to find the root cause. It's read-only and signs in with your existing IBM i profile.No. OpsIQ is not a monitoring tool and does not replace the monitoring tools you already use, like Robot or Halcyon. It's an investigative layer that works alongside them by helping your team interpret alerts and investigate issues faster. Your monitoring tells you something happened, OpsIQ tells you what it means and what to do next.It depends on your message volume and team size, since most of the time comes back from the lookup work before anyone can act. Use the savings calculator to estimate it for your team.Generic AI only knows what you paste into it. OpsIQ connects directly to your live IBM i system, so it queries actual system state and gives you an answer based on what's really happening right now, not a guess based on a pasted message.No. OpsIQ is built for the whole team, not just senior operators. If you can read a message and ask a question, you can use OpsIQ. Suggested prompts guide you to the right question if you're not sure where to start.Not today. OpsIQ is read-only: it surfaces insights and recommended next steps, but it doesn't execute commands or change anything. That's a deliberate safeguard, not a limitation.
