How to move an AI pilot into reliable production instead of letting it stall.
dgm is an independent osFoundry integration partner — not affiliated with osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC), and dgm has no completed client integrations yet.
Plenty of AI pilots impress in a demo and then stall. Getting from pilot to production is its own discipline. Here is how Canadian businesses make the leap.
Why pilots stall
Pilots often skip the unglamorous parts: integration with real systems, access controls, monitoring, handling edge cases, and ownership. A demo on sample data is not a production system.
What production needs
Real data handling under PIPEDA and Law 25, access controls, monitoring and feedback loops, a human-review path where decisions matter, and a clear owner. Plan these from the pilot, not after.
Making the leap
Choose a pilot that is narrow enough to harden into production, and build on a platform you can operate. osFoundry is a model-agnostic, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) AI orchestration platform — usage-based pricing with no per-seat fees, local-first and self-hostable, with per-region data pinning (US/EU/JP) or deployment into your own cloud. osFoundry’s managed cloud pins data to US, EU or Japan — it does not currently offer a Canadian managed region. For data that must stay in Canada, the honest path is self-hosting osFoundry (BYO Cloud) inside a Canadian cloud region such as AWS Canada (Montréal/Calgary), Azure (Toronto/Quebec City) or Google Cloud (Montréal), or running models locally on-device.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Canadian 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.
