We offer AI consulting services that help you put AI to work and keep the momentum going on your most important business problems. We:

  • build and refine AI strategies
  • identify and implement the right technology to support those strategies
  • develop specialized AI agents to act as force multipliers for human workers
  • establish scalable governance policies.

Through our artificial intelligence (AI) consulting services we help leaders adopt and scale AI responsibly, creating secure, governed systems that deliver business value. As part of our AI consulting approach, we establish AI strategy and governance frameworks that guide how we design, develop, and implement AI across the organization. This includes, but is not limited to:

AI strategy development: Determine how AI, machine learning (ML), and robotic process automation (RPA) should fit into your business strategy. Explore use cases that directly address challenges.

Data management: Apply sound data governance and security across your organization.

AI agent development: Build custom AI solutions to serve as force multipliers to help your teams move faster, make better decisions, and focus on work that moves your business forward (including our enterprise-grade AI agent framework, Agent C).

Implementation and integration: Implement and integrate AI-enabled enterprise platforms across people, process, and technology (like Microsoft Copilot or Salesforce Agentforce).

AI governance and adoption: Establish an AI Center of Excellence (COE) to support governance, AI acceptable use policies, responsible adoption, and ongoing iterations.

Workshops and accelerators: Engage in sessions designed to help teams build capability and deliver results faster (e.g., Data Insights with AI workshop).

Our Artificial Intelligence Consulting Services and Capabilities

Our AI consulting services meet organizations where they are. We deploy AI, starting with your business goals, constraints, and readiness. This approach ensures that AI and AI agents deliver real efficiency and measurable value while maintaining a clear connection to long-term vision and strategy.

AI Strategy, Governance and Security

Prepare to integrate responsible AI into your business operations with AI strategy services that keep both security and AI governance at the forefront of every recommendation. We guide leaders in aligning AI use with organizational goals, human oversight, and people-first adoption readiness.

AI Augmentation and Systems Modernization

We use Agent C, our proprietary AI augmentation development framework, to modernize disparate, undocumented legacy systems, helping teams reduce application modernization timelines by 50-80% and lower costs by 30-50%.

AI Agent Development and Integration

Our agent development services focus on building reliable, scalable custom agents that align with established strategy, governance, and operational requirements. We design practical AI agent systems of all kinds to support your business workflows. In application modernization, our AI solutions help teams deliver more accurate rewrites faster than either humans or agents could do alone. 

AI Implementation & Adoption

With more than 25 years of experience delivering custom app development, custom RAG pipelines, and custom AI solutions across data and analytics initiatives, we help organizations implement AI in ways that support adoption and deliver measurable value. Our implementation services focus on rolling out AI efficiencies built on tools like Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce, supported by enablement, change management, and operational readiness.

Whether you’re building an AI strategy or developing custom agents — we’ll focus on your challenge first.

Client Story

AI-Assisted Modernization Drives App to #1 in Market

In benefits administration, mobile experience is what powers competitive differentiation and client retention. But modernizing an app to enterprise-grade quality while pioneering new approaches like AI-augmented development takes more than adding developers.

bswift, a leading provider of cloud-based benefits technology and engagement solutions, had successfully rebuilt its mobile app but needed a true partner to modernize its development practices, implement AI-powered tooling, and scale quality and security for enterprise-level demands.

Within 18 months, the app became the #1 user-rated in its industry; downloads surged 2,400 percent, automated test coverage went from zero to 97 percent, and AI-assisted development drove a 30 percent increase in velocity.

Our Artificial Intelligence FAQs

Organizations often have practical questions about how to plan, govern, and implement AI responsibly. Our FAQ section addresses common questions related to artificial intelligence consulting, including AI strategy, governance, security, development, and adoption.

How can Centric Consulting’s AI consulting services help my business?
AI consulting services help organizations apply AI in practical, business-focused ways. This includes automating routine tasks, improving decision-making, enhancing customer experiences, and identifying new business opportunities for growth. At Centric, we bring a practical approach to AI that serves as a force multiplier to help your teams move faster, make better decisions, and focus on work that moves your business forward. Our technologists and AI strategists will help you build strong AI capabilities within your organization while navigating the complexities of AI adoption, governance, and oversight.
What is Centric’s approach to AI consulting, and what services do you offer?
Centric Consulting is an agent-augmented partner that helps you put AI to work on your most important business problems and keep the momentum going. Our approach starts with your business goals, constraints, and readiness. From there, we apply AI where it will deliver real efficiency and measurable value, and we design solutions that fit your organization rather than forcing a generic tool.

Our AI consulting services cover the full lifecycle: AI strategy development, pilots and proofs of concept, model training and testing, integration into existing business processes and systems, and ongoing AI operations and maintenance. Each engagement includes an adoption and change management plan, along with training and guidance so your teams keep using AI effectively over time. We also offer two areas of deeper specialization:

  • Custom AI agent development: We design, build, and deploy agents around your specific workflows. We define the business outcome, set governance guardrails first, build the agent against your systems and data, and validate it before it goes live. The result is an agent that fits how your teams already work.
  • AI governance consulting: We help organizations design and implement governance frameworks that support responsible AI adoption at scale. This includes defining governance operating models, developing AI policies and standards, aligning initiatives with regulatory and compliance requirements, and establishing oversight across the AI lifecycle. That keeps AI systems accountable, compliant, and aligned with business goals as they move into day-to-day operations.
How does Centric ensure the success of its AI projects?
Our team ensures the success of AI projects by following a structured delivery approach that aligns with business goals, stakeholders, and implementation teams from the start. Our work is supported by collaboration across disciplines within our firm, clear success criteria, and performance tracking against relevant KPIs. We use an iterative improvement approach to refine solutions over time and help ensure they deliver expected results in real-world use.
What kind of support does Centric provide after an AI solution or agent is deployed?
Centric’s AI consulting team provides ongoing support after deployment to help organizations operate, maintain, and improve their solutions over time. This includes performance monitoring, maintenance and updates, and optimization to ensure solutions continue to perform reliably and scale with evolving business needs. We also provide training and guidance to support adoption and change management as AI use evolves.
What are AI agents, and how does Centric Consulting design and implement them?
An AI agent is a software system that autonomously performs tasks, makes decisions, and interacts with tools and data to achieve specific business outcomes. Unlike chatbots or traditional automation, which follow predefined scripts, AI agents use reasoning, memory, and tool orchestration to complete multi-step tasks across systems — a capability known as agentic AI. Centric Consulting builds AI agents within established governance frameworks that address security, compliance, and risk from the start, making them well-suited for complex, repetitive, or decision-intensive workflows like customer support, service management, and cross-system orchestration. Depending on complexity and data readiness, many AI agent solutions can be deployed in weeks rather than months, with optimization continuing post-launch.
