Check your data, team and infrastructure readiness before starting an AI project.

Before starting an AI project, check whether your data, team and systems are ready. This checklist helps a Hong Kong business avoid a stalled start.
Data readiness
Is the data you need accessible, reasonably clean, and permitted for the use under the PDPO? Poor or restricted data is the most common blocker.
Team and systems
Do you have someone to own the project, and can your systems be connected to AI? Identify gaps early.
Compliance and residency
Decide your PDPO obligations and whether data must stay in Hong Kong before you build. osFoundry’s managed cloud pins data to the US, EU or Japan — it does not currently offer a Hong Kong managed region (its nearest managed region is Japan). To keep data in Hong Kong, the honest path is self-hosting osFoundry (BYO Cloud) inside a Hong Kong cloud region such as AWS Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) ap-east-1, Microsoft Azure East Asia (Hong Kong SAR) or Google Cloud asia-east2 (Hong Kong), or running models locally on-device.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Hong Kong businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
