Elixirr partners with US-based generative AI platform

As excitement among businesses regard generative AI grows, Elixirr has announced a new partnership with Responsum. The US-based AI firm will help Elixirr’s clients to introduce generative solutions into their organisations.

Stephen Newton, founder and CEO of Elixirr, said, “We have been working with Responsum on multiple client engagements in recent months, allowing us to collectively develop solutions that enable our clients to be more productive, accurate, resource-efficient, and really get ahead. Generative AI is undoubtedly here to stay, but we want our clients to embrace it in a way that will generate big results for their business, not just for the sake of innovation. As always, we let client needs drive where we expand and strengthen areas of our firm and collaborating with Responsum supports our continued efforts to do just that.”

Businesses around the world are optimistic about their prospects in the coming months, as many hope to see investments in new AI technology pay off. Recent studies suggest the much-hyped technology of generative AI in particular could help the UK economy alone find £31 billion in efficiency savings and productivity gains. But realising this potential still requires external expertise and support for many firms.

This is leading to many consultancies – the likes of Bain & Company, Cognizant and KPMG among them – to ramp up their AI lines. By bolstering their offerings in the innovative new space, they are preparing to support a glut of firms trying to find their way on their AI journeys.

Responding to these trends, Elixirr’s partnership with Responsum will enable the challenger consultancy to support its clients seeking to introduce generative AI solutions strategically into their organisations.

Responsum helps organisations realise and implement solutions using the latest in AI, Machine Learning and Generative AI models like GPT-4. The firm’s large language model (LLM) and generative AI expertise, combined with iOLAP’s technology and data capabilities guided by Elixirr’s strategic consulting expertise, will enable clients to not only accelerate the adoption of the technology, but use it in the most valuable ways for the business.

The platform is used across different industries by sales teams to scale productivity, performance and data hygiene; support teams to reduce costs and improve the customer experience’; executives and managers to streamline access to internal data and reporting; and researchers to analyse documents and data at scale.

Steve Steinberg, co-founder and CEO of Responsum, remarked, “A combination of AI and human intelligence is the future of business, allowing teams to do what they do best, and leaving the manual, time-consuming and repetitive tasks to the technology. We have introduced AI solutions to a wide range of businesses and industries over the past 7 years and are continuously finding new ways to make our clients’ lives easier and organisations more successful. I look forward to doing this on a bigger scale in partnership with Elixirr and iOLAP.”

iOLAP is a Texas-based provider of technology solutions, delivering data expertise that brings efficiency, security, and scale to clients. Its capabilities range from data science and advanced analytics to modern application development and the adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. In 2022, it was acquired by Elixirr as it sought to build out its US offering.

Craig Rich, a partner at iOLAP, added, “As a firm centered around data and technology, and using both to their utmost potential, this joint effort between Elixirr, iOLAP and Responsum is an exciting step and will allow us to best guide our clients on where AI will drive the biggest impact to their organisation. We each offer different, yet extremely complementary, services to what businesses need today to realise the added potential this technology brings to the future of their businesses.”
