How to choose the perfect AI consulting firm

Artificial Intelligence or AI, and data science are hot topics nowadays in any business environment. But not all business situations need the help of AI or Big Data to solve their issues. An AI consulting in Dubai or an AI consulting in Abu Dhabi can help a business identify their needs and suggest a suitable solution. So, even before you start searching for a consulting firm to act as your guide in this area, one needs to figure out if it is the technology that you shall need. This initial question can be answered by isolating and specifying the problem.

Match the problem with a probable solution

In a generalized sense, any AI solution will provide valuable insights into the available structured or unstructured data. Thus, most companies simply rush to find AI consulting in Dubai or an AI consulting in Abu Dhabi to build a product that centers around machine learning. These insights can improve your operational efficiency and help your end-customers. AI works best for any kind of customer-facing apps and in fraud detection like virtual text or voice assistants, eCommerce, price prediction engines, speech to text conversion, etc. They also help with statistical analytics and business intelligence, client analysis, demand forecasting, etc. 

Consider products available off-the-shelf.

Instead of hiring an AI consulting in Dubai or an AI consulting in Abu Dhabi to create a customized app or system, one should search for solutions that are already present in the market. There are many websites that provide analytics solutions that even specialize in software research. The common CRM software will collect and maintain the customer interaction data as well as a customized solution at a fraction of the cost. But such solutions may or may not support every functionality that is required by a business.

Study the company listings

Before simply picking up the first AI consulting in Dubai or an AI consulting in Abu Dhabi, one should take time to pick up the right kind of consultant. Many websites will provide you a list of such qualified data scientists. They provide a brief description of the consultants, their expertise, and location details. These websites provide not only a list of these consulting firms and individuals but also product companies and analytics solutions. They also provide information that could be useful for your business sector and help you implement AI and data sciences easily.

Study the vendor portfolio

Before you start inviting any AI consulting in Dubai or an AI consulting in Abu Dhabi, one should learn in detail about the vendor. Their website will provide a window into their expertise. One should search for a consultant who is capable of providing more than simply deliver a solution. Drop a vendor if they sell only a product without studying your pain area. In particular, one should focus on the case studies instead of the testimonials from past clients. A case study is a better guide to know the background and the solution.
