Technology Leader - RAG & MCP Implementation

Client Overview

A leading global technology company with 25,000+ employees, operating across software development, cloud services, and enterprise solutions. The organization manages extensive technical documentation, code repositories, and customer support knowledge spanning multiple products and platforms.

The Challenge

Despite significant investment in AI capabilities, the organization faced critical limitations preventing them from realizing AI's full potential:

• Generic AI Responses: Off-the-shelf LLMs lacked company-specific context, producing irrelevant answers
• Data Silos: Knowledge fragmented across 15+ systems, preventing comprehensive AI training
• Model Governance Gaps: No centralized control over AI model deployment and monitoring
• Security Concerns: Unable to leverage AI without exposing sensitive data to external services
• Integration Complexity: Each AI use case required custom integration work
• Lack of Context: AI couldn't access real-time ServiceNow data for informed responses
