AI Assessment, Data Readiness & Advisory Services

Starting with vision and strategy, Ironside's AI Assessment, Data Readiness & Advisory Services offering helps organizations identify and close the foundational gaps that prevent AI from reaching production. Each engagement is scoped to the client's needs and evaluates readiness across five pillars: Data, Infrastructure, Security, Team Capability, and Executive Alignment.

Work can span four phases: Discovery to map the current state, Assessment to score gaps and risks, Architecture to design a target state AWS environment, and Readout to deliver an executive briefing with a sequenced roadmap. Depending on scope, deliverables can include a Current State Assessment, Target State Architecture, Readiness Roadmap, setting up a live AWS foundation, Team Capability Plan, and/or a scoped first AI use case. As an AWS Advanced Tier Services Partner, Ironside manages funding applications on behalf of the customer, enabling many assessments to be partially or fully AWS funded."rs of data, consumers of data, and hybrid roles. This allows a baseline to use in assessing cost savings from productivity associated with a particular business case. A maturity assessment will be conducted across the 6 pillars identified earlier and presented in the form of a heat-map. This is critical in enabling the conversations required to create the roadmap that stakeholders can understand as the strategy and vision are put into action. Validation workshops will follow to confirm that there is agreement with the stakeholders that the assessment accurately captures the correct perspective.
