Check your data, team and infrastructure readiness before starting an AI project.
dgm is an independent osFoundry integration partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC), and dgm has no completed client integrations yet.
Before starting an AI project, a quick readiness check saves wasted effort. Here is what an Australian business should confirm first.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Use case | A specific, high-value problem to solve |
| Data | The data you need is accessible and reasonable quality |
| People | Someone owns the project and staff will use it |
| Compliance | Privacy and residency considered up front |
Use case and data
Confirm you have a specific, high-value problem (not ‘do some AI’) and that the data the AI needs is accessible and of reasonable quality. Most AI projects stall on data, not models.
People and process
Make sure someone owns the project and that the people who will use the result are involved early. Adoption fails when AI is imposed without buy-in.
Compliance readiness
Consider privacy (the Privacy Act) and residency up front, not at the end. osFoundry’s managed cloud pins data to the US, EU or Japan — it does not currently offer an Australian managed region. For data that must stay in Australia, the honest path is self-hosting osFoundry (BYO Cloud) inside an Australian cloud region such as AWS (Sydney or Melbourne), Microsoft Azure (Australia East, Australia Southeast or Australia Central in Canberra) or Google Cloud (Sydney or Melbourne), or running models locally on-device.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Australian businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
