CONTEXT
A software business in a client’s portfolio saw a significant opportunity to use technology and AI to drive operational change, streamline core workflows and increase shareholder value.

THE OUTCOME
- Defined a prioritised list of AI-driven solutions aligned with the company’s strategic objectives and KPIs.
- Established a robust framework to assess current AI readiness and identify capability gaps.
- Defined the future-state technology and data architecture, integrating AI with existing systems to automate processes.
- Created a clear implementation roadmap with delivery milestones and a governance framework to ensure adoption.
- Modelled expected costs, returns and time savings, including a material
reduction in manual processing and revenue uplift per employee.
