In today’s tech-driven world, innovation and seamless coordination are essential to business success. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the primary force behind that innovation.
According to Gartner, by 2026, 80% of enterprises will have integrated generative AI into their operations.
While this rapid pace of innovation is exciting, it also brings some hesitation and trepidation. Many business leaders are questioning how best to incorporate AI into their operations and where it will be most impactful. They often look to their system integrators, IT consultants, and software developers—the very people who will bring this AI vision to life for guidance. However, these teams often face similar challenges such as knowing where to begin and how to quickly develop prototypes to secure buy-in from stakeholders.
Enter Contextual and SolutionAITM—our guided system that uses the most advanced artificial intelligence to create your AI-enabled solutions—easily and quickly
As a system integrator or IT consultant, your clients rely on a two-way relationship. They look to you for ideas on how to drive innovation and increase efficiencies in their business, but they also want to provide input on exactly what they need built. This can be challenging, especially since many people still broadly associate AI with general tools like language models or virtual assistants. In reality, your clients want something personalized to fit their unique business needs. That means you must determine how to make these tailored solutions feasible, and do it quickly.
Adding to this complexity, two core challenges often drive businesses to seek the help of integrators and consultants: limited in-house expertise and the relentless pace of technological advancements. Clients want personalized solutions but may be unsure how to create or implement them. Even when a path forward is clear, existing systems and infrastructure may not be fully prepared to support the new solutions they envision.
In many cases, this leads to another common hurdle: technological overwhelm. As Solomon Thimothy from OneIMS points out,
One of the most common hurdles is technological overwhelm. Many businesses add on too many tools without really analyzing how they are going to use them. As a result, they end up with three different content generation platforms. They pay for all the subscriptions but their teams don't really use any of them. This sort of inefficiency can be easily avoided if you make the decision as to which tool to purchase based on its utility for your workflows rather than its big promise and shiny cover.
SolutionAI helps solve these pain points. Need a custom solution that leverages proprietary data across multiple internal systems? SolutionAI can build a data model to manage these inputs and even generate the application flow (including underlying code)—all in minutes. Additionally, SolutionAI lets you define where other AI systems will add value. Whether AI will analyze public data, act as a virtual assistant, or generate content, SolutionAI seamlessly integrates these capabilities into your application flow.
SolutionAI will enable you to quickly deliver—not only a proposal—but a prototype—of your client’s solution without getting tripped up on the roadblocks many face.
Once a project is approved, the software developer is tasked with designing and building the solution. For large-scale AI implementations, this often involves setting up new servers, updating databases, and coding integrations with various systems and data sources. This process can quickly extend project timelines and increase infrastructure costs.
Contextual addresses these time and cost challenges, enabling developers to concentrate on strategic, high-impact, high value tasks. A recent Github survey of 2,000 developers highlights the assistance that AI has provided to their coding and testing, while developers provided feedback of their ability to focus energy on more strategic initiatives. This is exactly what Contextual enables, as the developer can prompt SolutionAI to create specific functionality or integration points or review code written by hand, speeding up delivery and allowing them to focus on the architecture and any advanced flows for their solution. Since Contextual provides everything needed, developers can offer stakeholders significantly reduced infrastructure costs.
While the client ultimately is seeking a solution built by the system integrator, consultant, or developer, it is still vital that they understand how it’s built. Contextual enables the client to clearly see how a solution is built for them. While they may not be taking on any of the technical work up front, this visibility and access empowers clients after the project is handed off AND they’ll have a “conductor” in SolutionAI to help them with future changes and additions. Most importantly—by using Contextual—what has been built is now theirs. It doesn’t belong to a software company, but is a part of their business’ intellectual property.
