Episode notes
From Floppies To Bedrock
- Prophix started by shipping on floppy disks and later migrated to AWS over many years.
- They have been an AWS customer and partner for about 10 years and adopted Bedrock last year.
Platform-Level Intelligence Wins
- Prophix built a single platform-level AI service, Prophix One Intelligence, to power AI across all products.
- Centralizing intelligence lets them upgrade once and benefit the entire product suite in real time.
Financial Models Are Highly Custom
- CFO planning data is highly diverse and bespoke across industries, so a one-size LLM prompt won't work.
- Prophix must remain fully dynamic to handle vertical-specific budgeting and modeling nuances.
