    Integrate AI into legacy systems using Model Context Protocol (MCP)

    How can AI work with legacy systems—without costly overhauls?In this episode, we break down Model Context Protocol (MCP): a communication layer that connects AI with your existing systems. You’ll hear not only what MCP can do, but also where its limits are and how to prepare your data before connecting it. You’ll learn: Why most AI projects stall at proof of concept—and how MCP helps break that deadlock. What Model Context Protocol actually is and how it functions as a hub between AI and legacy systems. The limitations of MCP and what it cannot solve on its own. The business benefits of this integration model—from lower costs and risks to stronger data control. How rollout times shrink from weeks to days when MCP replaces brittle point-to-point integrations. Three practical ways to break data out of silos before plugging MCP in. MCP transforms legacy systems from dead weight into an active resource—accessible, consistent, and ready for AI. 👉 Want to explore how this could work in your organization?

    Modernizing legacy systems: 3 strategies, building business‑case, and embedding security

    Legacy applications still power the business—but their hidden costs and complexity block innovation. In this episode, we lay out a practical modernization playbook—from tactical quick wins through strategic re-platforming to full rebuilds—helping you weigh risk, cost, and impact while keeping day-to-day operations on track. ✔ You’ll learn: why modernising can’t wait—even when “everything still works” how to frame a board-ready business case that shifts spend from upkeep to growth three modernisation routes—incremental tweaks, strategic re-platforming, or a full rebuild—and how to decide which fits best ways to weave security in from day one, not bolt it on later clear signals for when to lean on an external technology partner If you’re running systems that can’t go offline—but can’t stay stuck in the past—this episode is for you.

    Digital transformation in manufacturing: From Excel to IoT, Automation, and AI

    Plenty of factories still run on spreadsheets and gut feeling. Data’s scattered, systems don’t talk to each other, and the promise of “Industry 4.0” often feels out of reach. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to move from manual processes to connected, data-driven production — without getting lost in tools or over-engineering the process. We break the journey down into three practical stages: Laying the groundwork: integrating data and digitising what’s already there, Getting smarter: using IoT and automation to react in real time, Going advanced: applying AI and predictive analytics to optimise performance. We also look at the common reasons why digital transformation fails — and what you can do to avoid those pitfalls. Thinking about starting your own transformation? Let’s talk.
