GenAI project examples

We've partnered with numerous customers to help them reach their goals through GenAI technologies. Our services range from preparing organisations for Microsoft Copilot rollouts to GenAI strategy workshops to rapid start accelerators with our partner SmartSpace.ai - and everything in between!

We’re also exploring how GenAI can help our customers achieve a faster time to market with hyperautomated testing. Additionally, we recently worked with our younger generation to explore how GenAI can contribute to climate goals.

Gary Blumgart, Head of Data and Digital at Theta:

“Since GenAI appeared on the scene, we’ve found that our customers are increasingly looking for support, suggestions and ‘lived experience’. It can feel daunting and risky for many organisations, so we wanted to offer a way to provide support every step of the way. I’m confident we’ll generate some really impressive ideas from this new Centre of Excellence.”
