Engineering leaders agree: adopting AI is critical. Now’s the time to figure out how.

Product complexity has exploded, generating more design data than teams can manually process.

At the same time, market dynamics are compressing design cycles across industries.

Engineering teams must make more complex design decisions, with more data, in less time. The teams that deploy AI first will lead the way.

47%

of engineering leaders say if they don’t adopt AI in 1-2 years, their competitors could put them out of business.

Most enterprise AI initiatives fail – and we know why:

Chatbots can't handle critical workflows

Consumer AI tools that are easy to deploy lack enterprise-grade customization and memory.

P&L impact is elusive

Very few AI deployments — just 5% — have generated measurable financial returns of 7 figures or more.

Enterprise AI is hard to get right

While 60% of companies have evaluated enterprise-grade AI tools, only 20% have kicked off pilots, and only 5% are in production.

Project complexity exceeds internal capacity

Only 33% of pilots developed fully in house reach deployment – compared with 67% of pilots developed with an outside technology provider

Speed to market with a working AI solution

Building AI solutions with internal teams takes time; there’s a learning curve. By partnering with CoLab, you tap into a technology foundation, specialized expertise, and fast-moving startup culture. All of this helps you launch AI solutions your team will actually use faster.

Aligned to your strategic objectives

Through dozens of AI partnerships, we've developed proprietary implementation frameworks that solve for common roadblocks. We combine these best practices with an audit of your data, processes, and goals to develop a custom implementation roadmap.

Custom development and integrations

Strategic partners are first-movers with exclusive access to CoLab’s R&D leadership. You’ll have the opportunity to shape the roadmap based on your unique needs. You’ll also work directly with the application development team to build integrations into your legacy systems. That means we can use your institutional knowledge to build tailored AI solutions.

Work with a dedicated team of AI and change management experts

Strategic partners get a dedicated CoLab account team made up of some of our most experienced and talented people:
