From Strategy to Reality: Our Impact
We don't just create roadmaps; we deliver results. Explore how we've helped leading enterprises harness AI to solve complex challenges and drive transformative growth.
Case Study: Predictive Maintenance for a Global Manufacturer
Industry: Manufacturing & Logistics
Client Overview: A Fortune 500 manufacturing company with a global network of production facilities was struggling with unplanned downtime on their critical assembly lines. Their reactive maintenance approach was costly, leading to significant production losses and scheduling disruptions. They needed a proactive strategy to anticipate equipment failures before they occurred.
Key Challenges:
- Inconsistent and siloed sensor data from various machinery.
- Lack of in-house data science expertise to build predictive models.
- Difficulty integrating a new solution with their existing SAP ERP system.
- High costs associated with unplanned equipment failures and emergency repairs.
Our Solution:
CIS developed a comprehensive AI strategy focused on predictive maintenance. Our approach included:
- Conducting an AI readiness assessment to identify data and infrastructure gaps.
- Designing and implementing a centralized data lake on AWS to consolidate sensor data.
- Developing and training a suite of machine learning models to predict failure probabilities for key components.
- Creating an intuitive dashboard for plant managers to visualize equipment health and receive proactive maintenance alerts, fully integrated with their SAP Plant Maintenance module.
"CIS didn't just give us an AI model; they gave us a new way of operating. Their strategic roadmap and flawless execution have fundamentally changed our approach to maintenance, turning it from a cost center into a competitive advantage."
Case Study: Automating Invoice Processing for a Financial Services Firm
Industry: Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI)
Client Overview: A mid-sized asset management firm was processing thousands of complex, non-standardized invoices from global vendors each month. The manual data entry process was slow, error-prone, and required a large team of clerks, leading to delayed payments and high operational overhead.
Key Challenges:
- High volume of invoices in diverse formats (PDF, scanned images, emails).
- Significant rate of human error in manual data extraction.
- Long processing cycles delaying vendor payments and financial closing.
- Inability to scale the process without hiring more staff.
Our Solution:
We began with an automation strategy workshop to map the end-to-end procure-to-pay process. The solution was an Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) platform:
- Deployed an AI-powered OCR engine to digitize and extract data from any invoice format.
- Utilized Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to understand, classify, and validate extracted fields against their accounting system.
- Built a "human-in-the-loop" interface for exceptions, allowing the model to learn from corrections.
- Integrated the automated workflow directly into their Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP, creating a seamless, end-to-end process.
"The AI strategy from CIS was a game-changer. They identified the perfect use case for intelligent automation and delivered a solution that paid for itself in under a year. Our finance team can now focus on analysis, not data entry."
Case Study: GenAI-Powered Personalization for an E-commerce Retailer
Industry: Retail & E-commerce
Client Overview: A fast-growing online fashion retailer faced intense competition. Their existing product recommendation engine was basic, leading to low engagement and conversion rates. They wanted to create a truly personalized shopping experience that would differentiate their brand and build customer loyalty.
Key Challenges:
- Generic product recommendations that didn't reflect user intent.
- Difficulty generating engaging and unique product descriptions at scale.
- High cart abandonment rates.
- Inability to provide real-time, conversational shopping assistance.
Our Solution:
We developed a multi-faceted Generative AI strategy to transform their customer experience:
- Created a custom enterprise copilot, a "Personal Shopping Assistant," using a Large Language Model (LLM) fine-tuned on their product catalog and style guides.
- Implemented a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture to provide real-time, accurate product information.
- Used GenAI to automatically create compelling, SEO-friendly product descriptions and marketing copy.
- Integrated the AI assistant across their website and mobile app to provide conversational search and style recommendations.
"CIS's vision for using Generative AI was transformative. They built us a custom copilot that has become the cornerstone of our customer experience. The level of personalization we can now offer is something we thought was years away."
Our Strategic Adoption Framework
We follow a proven, four-phase methodology to ensure your AI journey is structured, strategic, and delivers continuous value from discovery to scale.
Discover & Assess
We start by understanding your business. Through stakeholder workshops and technical assessments, we evaluate your AI readiness, identify high-impact opportunities, and establish a clear baseline.
Strategize & Roadmap
Using the insights from the discovery phase, we co-create your AI transformation strategy and a detailed, phased roadmap. This includes business cases, technology choices, and governance frameworks.
Pilot & Validate
We move from paper to practice by launching a pilot project for a high-priority use case. This allows us to validate the technology, demonstrate value quickly, and refine the approach before a full-scale rollout.
Scale & Optimize
With a successful pilot, we scale the solution across the enterprise. We establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) and MLOps practices to manage, monitor, and continuously optimize your AI systems for long-term impact.
Technologies We Master for Your AI Strategy
Our expertise spans the entire AI and data ecosystem. We are vendor-agnostic and leverage the best-in-class platforms and tools to build the optimal solution for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about our AI Strategy & Adoption services.
A typical AI Readiness Assessment takes between 4 to 6 weeks. This timeline allows for comprehensive stakeholder interviews, technical audits of your data and infrastructure, and the development of a detailed findings and recommendations report.
Absolutely. In fact, most enterprises don't have perfect data. Our Data Strategy for AI service is specifically designed to address this. We help you build the data quality frameworks and pipelines needed to create "AI-ready" data as a foundational part of your overall strategy.
ROI varies significantly depending on the use case. For automation projects, we often see cost reductions of 40-75% for the targeted process. For revenue-generating projects like personalization, we typically model for a 10-20% uplift in conversion or order value. Our Business Case Development service provides a detailed financial model tailored to your specific project.
Data security is our top priority. We use industry-best practices like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which prevents your proprietary data from being used to train the foundational LLM. All solutions are deployed within your secure cloud environment (e.g., Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock), ensuring your data never leaves your control and adheres to strict access policies.
Not necessarily. We offer flexible engagement models. We can act as your complete, outsourced AI team, or we can work in a hybrid model to augment and upskill your existing team. Our AI Talent Strategy service can help you determine the right long-term organizational model for your needs.
