Introducing Strongly.AI: Enterprise AI for the Rest of Us

The AI Revolution Is Leaving Most Businesses Behind

The AI revolution is here. But for most 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, everyone else watches 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.

Here's what makes it worse: according to MIT research, 95% of AI pilots fail. Not because AI doesn't work—but because organizations lack clear success criteria, can't measure ROI, and have no plan for what happens after launch.

Things work on day one. By day two, operational costs spiral, systems fail to scale, and the promised transformation evaporates.

At Strongly.AI, we believe this gap isn't inevitable. We believe growing businesses have the greatest opportunity to benefit from AI—if they have the right partner.

We've Seen This Movie Before

Strongly.AI began as A42 Labs, a data science consulting firm founded in 2019 by former Pivotal and EMC technology experts. Through hundreds of engagements building production AI/ML solutions for Fortune 500 companies, startups, and government agencies, we witnessed a consistent pattern.

Every organization was rebuilding the same foundational components—just configured slightly differently. Things worked in the pilot. Then reality hit:

• Operational costs spiraled out of control
• Systems that worked in development failed to scale
• Nobody could see what the AI was actually doing
• Security and compliance became a constant firefight
• The team that built it moved on, and nobody knew how to maintain it

We asked ourselves: what if we could change that?

What if we built a platform that gave growing businesses 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, Process

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.

And we've built tools so intuitive that business users can design workflows without writing code—while developers get the full flexibility they need.

Platform

The Strongly Platform eliminates years of infrastructure development. Multi-cloud management, security, governance, agentic workflows, AI gateway, apps—it's all there.

You get enterprise-grade capabilities, reusable building blocks, and seamless integrations. Your team focuses on solving business problems, not technical plumbing.

Our customers ship AI applications 10x faster than building from scratch.

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, Not Slide Decks

We're obsessed with ROI—not theoretical ROI from a consultant's presentation, but actual, measurable returns that hit your bottom line.

One of our 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.

That's what we mean by transformation.

Detach Growth from Hiring

Here's what most people miss about the AI opportunity:

Large enterprises are weighed down by legacy systems, organizational complexity, and change-resistant cultures. Growing businesses 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 every day.

The Complete Platform

The Strongly Platform is enterprise AI software built for end-to-end development of AI solutions:

AI Apps

MCP Servers

100+ certified Model Context Protocol integrations with multi-tenancy, enhanced security, and verified endpoints. AWS, Azure, GitHub, Salesforce, MongoDB, and dozens more—ready to plug in.

Projects & Workspaces

Organize AI development with structured collaboration. Project hierarchies, real-time teamwork, granular permissions, environment separation. Cloud-based workspaces with JupyterHub, VS Code, and GPU compute.

MLOps Workbench

End-to-end machine learning operations. AutoML, experiment tracking, model registry with staging pipelines, A/B testing, drift detection. Take models from notebook to production with confidence.

STAN AI Assistant

AI-powered support available 24/7. Contextual help that understands your current task, intelligent troubleshooting, code generation, step-by-step tutorials. Like having an expert looking over your shoulder.

Governance

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.

If we don't see a clear path to ROI, we'll tell you. We're not interested in projects that don't deliver real value.

Built by Practitioners, for Practitioners

Our leadership team brings 45+ years of combined experience across enterprise data platforms, advanced analytics, and production AI/ML systems. We've served 100+ organizations—from Fortune 500 enterprises to growing companies ready to scale.

We've seen what works. More importantly, we've seen what doesn't.
