Your AI Readiness Level: Developing
You’ve Built a Strong Start — Now It’s Time to Connect the Dots
What does it mean to be at the 'Developing' level?
Your results show that your business has a solid technology foundation and is beginning to make progress toward automation and AI readiness. You’ve already adopted some modern tools and workflows, but there’s still room to align your systems, clean up data, and ensure everything works together seamlessly.
At this stage, the focus shifts from basic setup to connection and consistency.
Your systems likely run well on their own, but isolated tools and fragmented data can make it difficult to unlock the full potential of automation or AI-driven insights.
Many organizations reach this point; the technology is in place, but it’s not yet integrated deeply enough to deliver smarter decisions or time-saving automation. By connecting platforms, improving data reliability, and introducing structured workflows, you’ll start turning your existing tools into intelligent systems that work for you, not against you.
The next step is optimizing what you already have, aligning your people, processes, and data, so you can confidently move toward advanced automation and AI-driven performance.
Move to the Cloud
Consolidate files and collaboration inside Microsoft 365 or a similar secure environment.
Standardize Tools
Reduce overlap and make sure everyone’s working from the same systems.
Automate Workflows
Start small with everyday tasks like approvals, scheduling, or reminders.
Improve Security
Use MFA, managed updates, and consistent access controls to protect your data

Think we’ve missed something?
What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing allows your business to access IT resources like storage, software, and servers over the internet. It removes the need for physical infrastructure and reduces upfront costs.
Choosing managed cloud services can help ensure your setup meets compliance standards and keeps sensitive data secure.
What are the 3 basic cloud services?
The three main types are:
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Virtual servers and storage (e.g., Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Storage)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Development and database platforms (e.g., Azure App Service, Azure SQL Database)
- Software as a Service (SaaS) – Ready-to-use applications (e.g., Microsoft 365)
Each offers a different level of control, flexibility, and responsibility. Choosing the right mix for you depends on your business goals and industry regulations.
How much do cloud services cost compared to on-premise servers?
Cloud services typically reduce overall IT costs by eliminating server hardware, maintenance, and energy expenses. They provide predictable monthly costs that scale with your usage, making budgeting easier.
How do I keep my team secure when using cloud services?
With our cloud security protocols, your data receives enterprise-grade protection, including:
- Advanced encryption
- Multi-factor authentication
- Automated backup systems
We implement the proper controls so your team access the data they need the most secure way possible. These provide significantly stronger safeguards than most on-premise solutions can offer.
