Presidio, a leading global digital services and AI solutions provider, today announced its largest investment in artificial intelligence to date including the launch of the Presidio AI Blueprint, a methodology for enterprise AI adoption; the formation of a dedicated AI consulting group, Lighthouse, that brings the blueprint to life; and the opening of the Presidio Programmable AI Technology Hub (P.A.T.H.), an innovation lab for AI validation. The investment is designed to address the AI Value Paradox, with McKinsey research finding that 94% of survey respondents were not seeing significant value from their AI investments.

Bob Cagnazzi, CEO of Presidio, stated: "Presidio's investment in AI through Lighthouse, P.A.T.H. and the Presidio AI Blueprint, reflects where we're headed as a company. Our customers are done experimenting with AI. They need to scale it. These investments are how we help them do that."
The three-stage methodology includes Clarify, where vision, priorities and organizational muscle are defined; Realize, where production-ready AI solutions are built and validated through P.A.T.H.; and Scale, where AI is governed, monitored and continuously improved upon. Presidio's AI consulting group, Lighthouse, brings the Presidio AI Blueprint to life for customers, helping organizations move from AI ambition to implementation through a methodology that combines strategy, solution design, architecture and services execution.
Presidio's approach is informed by the same operating principles applied inside its own business through Presidio AI Studio, an internal agentic AI platform that creates a governed environment for how employees access, test and apply AI across workflows. That internal experience gives Presidio a practical view into the adoption and operational challenges organizations face as they scale AI.
A leading investment firm managing $20B+ in assets engaged Presidio for an 18-month, $6M agentic AI transformation, starting with 25+ back-office use cases and autonomous workflow automation designed to enable $10B in AUM growth without adding headcount. Rob Kim, Chief Technology Officer at Presidio, stated: "The conversation has shifted from 'Should we use AI?' to 'How do we change how we run the business to take better advantage of AI?' That's an operating model redesign, not a technology project."
Ali Tehrani, Senior Vice President of AI at Presidio, added: "Our customers want to move past the experimentation phase with AI. They need AI programs that deliver business outcomes, operate securely and scale responsibly. This investment reflects our commitment to helping them achieve exactly that."
