Congratulations on choosing to rely on us for your AI implementation journey! It means that you already know that AI is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Your customers expect it: 87% of support teams have experienced an increase in their customers' expectations in the past year, and 68% believe that AI has directly influenced these expectations.
The first 90 days are crucial in establishing the foundation for long-term success. Based on our experience in guiding companies toward successful AI adoption, we have developed this structured plan for you who haven't even started yet.
Why a 90-Day Plan?
A 90-day period is the ideal interval to start AI adoption:
It is long enough to execute significant projects
It is short enough to maintain urgency and momentum
Allows you to avoid " analysis paralysis" and start reaping the benefits of AI more quickly
Allows for quick wins that demonstrate the tangible value of AI
Remember: the longer you wait to adopt AI, the more expensive it will become to close the gap with competitors. Delaying implementation creates a gap that widens exponentially over time. That's why our team of experts has created this quick implementation guide, designed to help your company start with the bare minimum of functional, profitable AI.
