Converge Technology Solutions Corp. (TSX: CTS, OTCQX: CTSDF) has introduced its Data & AI Design Studio, a new program aimed at helping organizations overcome the persistent challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) implementation and move beyond stalled proof-of-concept projects into real-world execution. As AI investment becomes a top priority for businesses seeking innovation, many still struggle to translate that investment into measurable value due to issues such as data quality, privacy, security, IT infrastructure, and financial justification.
Despite 72% of businesses having adopted AI in at least one function, a significant number find their projects stuck in early stages, unable to scale or deliver tangible results. According to Converge CEO Greg Berard, the fear of being outpaced by competitors is driving a surge in AI investment, but without a clear strategy and foundational support, many organizations fail to realize the full potential of their AI initiatives.
The Data & AI Design Studio is positioned to address these challenges by offering a holistic framework that aligns AI projects with business goals, ensures cost-effectiveness, and mitigates risks. The program is designed to support companies at any stage of their AI journey, from initial exploration to enterprise-wide deployment.
Converge’s Data & AI Design Studio provides a maturity curve to help organizations identify their current stage in AI adoption and offers a series of targeted workshops and services, including:
- AI Briefing: A high-level, tailored workshop to bridge knowledge gaps about AI, its tools, and large language models, while uncovering potential use cases within the organization.
- AI Ideation Workshop: A session for business leaders to identify and prioritize AI use cases that align with strategic objectives.
- Use Case Assessment Roadmap: A deep-dive exercise for companies ready to advance their AI journey, focusing on evaluating and prioritizing use cases, building business cases, and establishing a strategic vision.
- AI Design Thinking: A workshop for teams with identified AI use cases, designed to assess business viability, implementation complexity, impact, and return on investment, enabling informed go/no-go decisions.
- AI Solution Design: A multi-week technical design initiative for organizations ready to invest in a specific AI solution, providing everything from technical architecture to project plans.
Converge brings deep industry expertise, robust security and compliance standards, and a tailored approach to each client engagement. The company’s outcomes-driven methodology is designed to help businesses integrate AI seamlessly, maximize return on investment, and reduce the risks associated with new technology adoption.
