This program equips professionals to plan, negotiate, and operationalize AI partnerships while integrating external AI tools, APIs, and cloud services into enterprise platforms. You’ll learn how to evaluate fit, structure SLAs, and design resilient integration patterns across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. The curriculum emphasizes real-world vendor ecosystems (e.g., LLM providers, workflow automation, data platforms) and hybrid build-vs-buy strategies that balance speed with control.
Security is treated as a first-class design constraint: you will harden interfaces, govern data flows, and verify third-party controls. Cybersecurity impact includes reducing attack surface across partner connections, enforcing zero-trust policies at API boundaries, and aligning model usage with enterprise risk appetites. You’ll also implement continuous assurance for compliance, observability, and cost governance so integrated AI services remain safe, auditable, and performant at scale.
