AI Hub
From strategy and governance to implementation and adoption, Sharp DX helps organisations deploy AI securely and at scale.
Beginning your AI transformation
AI adoption is accelerating across Europe, with most SME and enterprise organisations actively using AI for a variety of outputs, from driving productivity and efficiency to optimising costs.
Sharp DX, our unified IT service capabilities, offers a range of services to support businesses on their AI transformation journey, ensuring the right solutions are deployed in the right way to maximise project success.
The AI divide
While AI adoption levels continue to rise across businesses of all types, there are key differences between SME and enterprise implementation strategies.
Many SMEs struggle to implement AI tools without adequate support. However, investing in deeper AI integration is a clear priority, with our research finding that 55% of EU SME leaders show strong intent to create new AI-based workflows. On top of this, developing bespoke applications and investing in cloud and data infrastructure are critical AI growth stages.
The enterprise business journey can look a little different. Accelerating AI adoption without compromising governance, security, and data protection requires moving securely past isolated pilots and transforming AI into an industrial-grade corporate asset.
Whatever stage your business is at, Sharp DX takes a comprehensive approach to delivering AI projects tailored to your business maturity level.
How Sharp DX can help
AI has the potential to transform how your business works. And to ensure that you’re taking the best approach possible, we’re on hand to help you adopt AI in a way that’s secure, practical and relevant to your organisation.
Our AI advisory services kick off with an AI readiness assessment. Our experts will ask you a series of questions about your business maturity across a range of areas such as cybersecurity, data, processes, and culture. You then get a final rating, before receiving an overview of tailored recommendations as a springboard to the next step.
Next, we will design and run a complete AI governance operating model. This could include establishing AI roles, enabling comms compliance, building monitoring dashboards and investigation workflows, and delivering quarterly reviews – all to keep AI secure and compliant.
Once the preliminary stage is complete, Sharp DX will kickstart the process for adoption. Depending on what AI solutions your business requires, certain actions may need to be undertaken to facilitate implementation, putting your business in the best position for a successful rollout.
Sharp DX has a range of capabilities to support build and implementation of AI solutions. Post launch, we’ll continually measure gains and ROI, ensuring that your solution is meeting both financial and operational targets.
