Cloudera targets AI production gap with unified customer teams

Enterprise data platforms face pressure to move AI from pilot to production, with data access, governance, and scale cited as the top barriers. A survey of over 1,300 IT specialists found roughly 80% named data access as the biggest obstacle. Cloudera chief customer officer Patricia Bogoevici says the company has unified its post-sales teams under one leader to align with customer business outcomes. Cloudera plans to release its Anywhere Cloud platform in November, paired with a Mistral AI partnership, to help enterprises run models at full scale and measure real returns.
