AI business consulting for MSP customer engagements

AI Business Consulting, delivered with you

Bring senior AI business consulting into your customer work. You do not need to build this capability in-house first. Our specialists work alongside your team. We help your customer find the right Secure AI opportunity, build the business case and set out the change. You keep the customer relationship and the implementation opportunity.

The two engagements

Two engagements your customer can buy.

The first helps your customer find and rank the right opportunity. The second takes one chosen opportunity deeper. It gets that opportunity ready for an investment decision.

Each engagement has two prices. Ingram Micro Microsoft partners have access to Cumulus partner pricing. The work and engagement scope are the same at either price.

Your customer decides whether to proceed. If they do, your team takes the work into detailed technical design and the build.

Before anything else

What stays yours.

This comes first because it matters most. The customer is yours. Our specialists work alongside your team.

Yours

You keep the customer relationship

Before, during and after

  • The relationship is yours throughout.
  • We do not build our own sales relationship with your customer.
  • If your customer contacts us, we point them back to you. We tell you it happened.
Yours

You lead the customer engagement

In every session

  • You stay involved from start to finish.
  • Our specialists work alongside your team, within the agreed engagement scope.
Yours

The work goes through you

Through your relationship

  • The customer engagement remains yours.
  • Work that reaches your customer goes through you.
Yours

You retain the implementation opportunity

Your route into the build

  • Our commercial work ends at the high-level solution design.
  • Your team takes the opportunity into detailed technical design, quotation and the build.

We sell no software, no licences and no implementation. Your team owns the route into the technical build if the customer decides to proceed.

Clear boundaries

Commercial work first. Technical delivery stays with you.

We work with you from the business need to the high-level solution design. Your own team takes it from there.

Where the capability comes from

Practitioners, not trainers.

The people who support these engagements also do live commercial work through Formalus. The skill comes from real customer work, not from a training course.

Formalus does commercial work only. It does not sell licences and it does not implement technology. You retain the technical implementation opportunity.

When to buy, when to build

Use specialist capability when the opportunity requires it.

You do not need to hire a consulting team first. Buy one engagement when a customer needs it. Build the skills inside your own business once that demand repeats.

Buy the engagement when the opportunity earns it. Build permanent capability when repeated demand earns it.
