If you’re looking for ways to leverage AI to make your business more productive and profitable, you’re part of a larger trend: 72 percent of CEOs in the U.S. describe generative artificial intelligence as a “top investment priority despite uncertain economic conditions,” according to the KPMG 2023 U.S. CEO Outlook.
To maximize your AI return on investment, you should consider working with a managed service provider (MSP). The right managed IT service provider can streamline the process of identifying opportunities to leverage AI within your organization and pinpoint, deploy, and monitor AI solutions for your business.
Based on our background as an MSP, 20+ years of IT experience, and insights from industry experts at Channel Insider, here are a few key ways a managed service provider can assist your company with AI implementation.
1. Offering access to AI skills and expertise.
Eighty-seven percent of C-Suite executives report struggling to find workers with AI skills, according to a July 2023 survey conducted by the online learning platform edX. Partnering with a managed IT service provider can allow you to access much-needed AI talent you don’t have internally.
2. Identifying prime areas for artificial intelligence implementation.
Based on experience with previous AI deployments, a managed service provider can help you efficiently identify use cases for artificial intelligence solutions within your business – such as IT support, operations, human resources, facilities, sales and marketing, customer service, and contact center.
3. Sourcing high-quality data for AI solutions.
Faulty and biased datasets can lead to low-quality AI solutions and a lack of ROI for your business. An MSP can help your company with data quality control, structuring, and analysis, ensuring that your AI solutions have robust and unbiased datasets as their foundations.
4. Developing and deploying customized AI solutions.
An MSP can potentially build custom AI applications to meet your company’s unique needs and automate routine tasks and processes.
5. Monitoring ongoing performance.
Once you’ve deployed AI solutions, a managed IT service provider can keep an eye on their performance metrics and troubleshoot any issues that arise to ensure optimal operations.
Ultimately, partnering with an MSP can benefit your company in numerous ways regarding leveraging AI and enhancing other aspects of your daily business operations.
