Enterprise AI/ML Teams
Enterprise AI/ML teams are specialized groups within large organizations (500+ employees) responsible for developing, deploying, and governing AI systems. They operate under compliance requirements, procurement processes, and organizational complexity.
Segment Profile
Size & Distribution
- Market: ~15,000 enterprises globally with dedicated AI/ML teams
- Team size: 5-50 people per AI team
- Growth: 25% CAGR as enterprises accelerate AI adoption
- Addressable: Enterprises deploying autonomous agents in production
Pain Points
Governance gaps are career risk. When an AI system makes a decision that affects customers or operations, someone is accountable. Enterprise AI teams need audit trails that satisfy legal, compliance, and executive scrutiny.
Tool sprawl creates blind spots. Large organizations run multiple AI initiatives across different teams. Without centralized visibility, governance becomes impossible.
Procurement is slow. Enterprise buying cycles are 3-12 months. Tools need security reviews, legal approval, and budget allocation across fiscal years.
Build vs. buy tension. AI teams can build internal tooling, but it diverts resources from core AI development. Commercial tools must offer substantial time savings.
Buying Behavior
- Decision maker: VP of AI/ML, Head of Data Science, or CISO
- Influencer: Individual contributors who evaluate technical fit
- Procurement: Legal, Security, Procurement must all approve
- Budget: £25k-£250k ACV range for infrastructure tools
- Sales cycle: 3-6 months with POC/pilot phase
- Reference required: Will call existing customers
