The AI revolution is here. But for most small and medium-sized businesses, it feels like a spectator sport.
Large enterprises are hiring teams of $300,000+ data scientists, building custom infrastructure, and transforming their operations. Meanwhile, SMBs are stuck watching from the sidelines—constrained by budgets, lacking specialized talent, and overwhelmed by a fragmented market of point solutions that promise the world but fail to deliver.
At Strongly.AI, we believe this gap isn't inevitable. In fact, we believe small and medium businesses have the greatest opportunity to benefit from AI—if they have the right partner.
The AI Adoption Gap Is Real
We've seen it firsthand. Before Strongly.AI, we were A42 Labs—a data science consulting firm that built production AI solutions for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and government agencies. Through hundreds of engagements, we witnessed a consistent pattern.
Companies struggled with duct-taped solutions cobbled together from off-the-shelf products. Things worked on day one. By day two, operational costs spiraled, systems failed to scale, and the promised ROI evaporated. And every organization was rebuilding the same foundational components—just configured slightly differently.
We asked ourselves: what if we could change that? What if we built a platform that gave SMBs the same enterprise-grade AI capabilities that Fortune 500 companies have—without requiring them to hire a team of specialists or piece together a dozen tools?
That question became Strongly.AI.
People, Platform, and Process
At Strongly.AI, we've built our approach around three pillars.
People
You don't have $300k+ for data scientists and AI specialists. We know that. That's why we deploy Forward Deployed Engineers who work directly with your team. They fill the resourcing and skillset gaps that would otherwise block your AI initiatives. You bring the business knowledge; we bring the expertise. Together, we move fast.
Platform
Strongly's enterprise AI platform eliminates the complexity of building AI solutions. From multi-cloud infrastructure management, FinOps and security to agentic workflows, AI gateway and AI apps. You get enterprise-grade capabilities, reusable building blocks, and seamless integrations—so your team focuses on business problems, not technical plumbing.
Process
Day-two operations make or break AI initiatives. We embed governance, monitoring, cost optimization, and continuous improvement into every workflow. Your solutions don't just launch successfully—they deliver value for years.
Real Results
We're obsessed with ROI—not theoretical ROI from a slide deck, but actual, measurable returns that hit your bottom line.
One of Strongly's early customers was constrained to processing just 100 documents per week at a cost of $8 per document. Their manual process was a bottleneck that capped how much business they could take on.
We deployed an AI solution that reduced their cost to 8 cents per document—a 100x improvement.
But the real impact wasn't just cost savings. With the bottleneck removed, they took on additional business that resulted in more than $1 million in new annual revenue.
Detach Growth from Hiring
We believe small and medium businesses have the greatest opportunity to use AI to automate core business functions and detach growth from hiring.
Large enterprises are weighed down by legacy systems, organizational complexity, and change-resistant cultures. SMBs can move faster, adapt quicker, and implement AI in ways that amplify the productivity of every single employee.
Instead of hiring three more people to handle growth, what if you could 3x the output of the team you already have? That's not a fantasy. That's what we help our customers achieve.
ROI That Funds More ROI
We're highly focused on identifying high-ROI opportunities that create a flywheel of success. The first project pays for itself. That success funds the next project. Momentum builds. Before long, AI isn't a one-off experiment—it's woven into how you operate.
Typical Engagement Details:
- Duration: 2 to 8 weeks
- Entry point: $100,000 to $250,000
- Target payback: 6 to 12 months
If we don't see a clear path to ROI, we'll tell you.
