Group Head of Data Strategy & Enterprise Governance at a consumer goods company with 10,001+ employees
Struggled to justify enterprise adoption but have valued broader developer accessibility
If I could change or add anything to improve C3 AI, I would suggest making it not just an AI platform, but a data and AI combined platform, as bringing in data management elements, governance, and cloud features is critical. The real AI and modeling represent only 20 percent of what is needed; there is over 80 percent in the rest of the world that should be addressed. Given Tom Siebel's deep understanding of corporate work and his network, integrating C3 AI with other ERP solutions such as Oracle, SAP, or Microsoft is essential. If C3 AI can be an enterprise platform, embedding more data elements and ensuring seamless integration with other ERP solutions would significantly enhance its capabilities and attractiveness. If someone told me that they have SAP, and C3 AI can seamlessly integrate the data and perform action calls between SAP, allowing me to operate on C3 AI as I would on SAP, that would be a killer feature for me. I would suggest avoiding traditional licensing sales as it is too expensive; the starting price is too high. Considering a subscription model or a pay-per-use model is the best business structure for AI or data solution vendors. The pay-per-use model benefits usage, as the more you use, the more successful you become with the platform.

AI-powered triage has improved support efficiency and enables faster global ticket resolution
Forethought's strengths lie in AI-driven ticket triage, intent classification, automated routing, along with Agent Assist for real-time recommendation. It integrates directly with our cloud and our service desks to reduce manual effort, improve SLA compliance, and scale support operations effectively. The Agent Assist feature uses AI to analyze incoming tickets and agent activity in real-time and then suggests relevant responses, internal KB articles, resolutions, and next steps, which helps our engineers achieve faster ticket resolution. It helps our support team by reducing lookup time, increasing accuracy, and speeding up resolution, especially for complex cloud or infrastructure issues where content matters. It auto-suggests relevant KB content based on ticket context and helps us maintain consistent answers across global teams. Forethought has positively impacted my organization by reducing initial ticket triage to AI-based intent detection and routing tickets appropriately, as well as improving first response and resolution time. It has helped maintain SLA compliance while scaling and increasing agent efficiency and consistency across global support teams.
