It seems like everyone these days is incorporating generative AI (GenAI) to improve efficiency, productivity, and costs. GenAI holds the promise to be a game changer, but many businesses aren’t sure whether or how it’s right for them. If you find yourself questioning whether AI is the right fit for your business, you’re not alone. Despite all the buzz, GenAI isn’t seeing universal adoption just yet. In fact, research by The Register finds that a whopping 81% of mid-market organizations are currently avoiding AI. They just don’t see the benefit. While caution is understandable before jumping on the GenAI bandwagon (see our blog post about this), the pressure is mounting to harness GenAI and reap its benefits. So, what’s the smart way forward? In a word: planning. GenAI is a journey, and like any trip, it requires a roadmap and thoughtfully planned steps. Here’s some guidance for charting your course in GenAI.

Many organizations use Microsoft® SharePoint® as a document repository and archive. Yours may be one of them. But SharePoint offers more than that. It can become a unifying hub that reaches across the company. The site can be used as a dynamic daily point-of-entry for company news, the latest links to developments within the company, and any communications from the administration, various business and tech units, channels, and teams. SharePoint also provides links to internal site sections. We understand that organizations can build and manage their own SharePoint sites. But many of our clients prefer to have us develop and maintain the content and workflows for their sites because we bring real value to those assets. Even with SharePoint’s considerable capabilities, it’s economical for our clients to let Prowess Consulting build and manage their sites. More important, though, we free up IT, web development, and management teams to work on other tasks—saving you time and money.

If you read the tech news, you might believe that every business is using Generative AI (GenAI) to increase efficiency and productivity. But the real picture is quite different. Relax, you’re not falling behind. Let’s dive in.

In a recent study, Prowess Consulting looked into what defines an AI PC and how it can help consumers and businesses. Because the AI landscape changes week by week, we wanted to look at the most recent announcements from Microsoft, Intel, and other major market players to understand the current state of the AI PC.

Over the years, DevOps has proven to be a powerful approach to software development and delivery. The practice was developed around 2008, when concerned IT operations and software development professionals questioned the traditional software development model that siloed the roles and responsibilities of their respective teams. Today, the primary aim of DevOps is to enhance collaboration, quality, and speed along the software development lifecycle (SDLC). This blog post is intended to define the practice and provide a few basic ideas for putting DevOps front and center of your application development and delivery environment to help increase innovation.

In the rapidly advancing landscape of information technology (IT), the evolution of public cloud services is a pivotal force. With data centers worldwide, public cloud services enable businesses to expand their operations globally without investing in physical infrastructure. Cloud service providers (CSPs) often operate on a pay-as-you-go model, where businesses only pay for the resources they use. This cost efficiency allows companies to reduce capital expenditures on IT infrastructure and reallocate these funds toward innovation and growth. Public cloud services also allow businesses to scale their infrastructure up or down based on demand. This capability makes adapting quickly to changing market conditions easy, making companies more agile and competitive. In this post, we explore three trends shaping the evolution of public cloud services: generative AI, multicloud strategies, and sustainable computing. Join us as we navigate these topics and examine how they open new business opportunities.

Organizations like yours face an intricate challenge when managing a blend of on-premises, cloud, and edge resources. IT resources sprawled between your on-premises IT estate and the cloud can lead to holes in management and incomplete governance. This is particularly problematic when it comes to data, where lack of centralized insight into where organization and customer data resides—and who can access it—can increase the risk of security breaches or fines from regulators.
