While IT leaders acknowledge the importance of AI adoption, many remain uncertain about implementation and security. According to Gartner, over 60% of CIOs include AI in their innovation plans, yet fewer than half believe they can effectively manage AI risks. Thrive’s new Managed AI services address this gap by offering mid-sized companies a structured, secure approach to AI adoption.
Bill McLaughlin, CEO of Thrive, explained:
“Many businesses recognize the necessity of adopting AI to remain competitive, yet numerous mid-sized companies struggle with where to begin or lack the resources to implement this technology strategically and securely. At Thrive, we are committed to ensuring our customers are not left behind, understanding that AI can significantly impact their business.”
Thrive’s new offering is built around a consultative approach, guiding clients through every stage of AI adoption. Key features include:
Use Case Identification – Helping businesses define specific AI use cases that deliver measurable ROI.
Data Assessment – Ensuring data infrastructure and quality are ready for AI integration.
Security Implementation – Leveraging Thrive’s NextGen cybersecurity to safeguard AI workflows.
AI Policy & Governance – Establishing compliance-driven policies to guide responsible AI use.
Employee Training – Equipping staff to use AI tools effectively and securely.
Michael Gray, CTO of Thrive, highlighted the importance of preparation:
“From getting data sources organized and ready to ensuring the cloud capabilities are in place and optimized, there is so much technical prep that has to be done to ensure a business is ready to deploy AI and use it successfully.”
Thrive has already implemented Microsoft Copilot for customers across industries, boosting productivity. The Managed AI services expand this expertise into personalized private AI, reducing risks tied to public AI models and ensuring workflows remain secure and efficient.
As adoption grows, Thrive will also support workflow management and develop vertical AI models tailored for industry-specific needs, driving more accurate results for clients.
With this launch, Thrive reinforces its position as a trusted partner for businesses seeking to integrate AI securely while maximizing efficiency and ROI.
