The studio has been designed to tackle the significant obstacles that businesses face when trying to convert their AI investments into actionable outcomes and measurable value.
As AI becomes a pivotal aspect of innovation across numerous industries, many companies find themselves challenged by various factors that hinder their attempts to implement AI solutions effectively. Issues related to data quality, security concerns, IT infrastructure, and financial justification are commonly cited barriers that often leave AI projects languishing in stages of proof-of-concept without progressing to full deployment. Converge's Data & AI Design Studio aims to address these complexities and empower IT teams with a comprehensive framework that fosters impactful, cost-effective AI initiatives aligned with overarching business objectives.
According to Greg Berard, Chief Executive Officer of Converge, a staggering 72% of organizations have begun to incorporate AI within at least one business function. However, many organizations still worry about lagging behind competitors, resulting in an urgent push for investment in AI technologies.

The Data & AI Design Studio is intended to instill a long-term perspective in customers regarding their AI journeys and ensure that they obtain the foundational support crucial for success.
