From readiness index to a roadmap for your AI agents

Together, we review your AI Readiness Quick-Check, add efficiency factor E and identify the two or three steps needed to make your data foundation agent-ready. If you wish, Viamedici can join at the end to show how to put this into practice with EPIM/5.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to complete the Quick-Check beforehand?

It saves us 15 minutes and makes the discussion more focused. If you have not completed it yet, we will start by working through the 20 questions together.

Is this a sales call?

No. You receive an independent assessment based on the ROOT methodology. Viamedici only takes part if you explicitly select this option.

Who should attend from your team?

Ideally, the person responsible for product data and someone from IT or e-commerce. Up to three people can attend.

What happens to my information?

TGOA uses it only to arrange the appointment and carry out the assessment. It is only shared with Viamedici if you invite them to join and consent to the sharing of your information.
