Who We Are
Applied IT Solutions (AITS) is a Toronto-based consultancy founded in 2008 and led by its principal consultant. It advises government and Fortune 500 organizations on artificial intelligence, enterprise data strategy, document and records management, and business process improvement, with one aim: deriving tangible business value from the application of information technology.
Most engagements are delivered end to end by the principal, from requirements gathering through solution design and delivery to train-the-trainer and hand-off to the client's own team. For larger projects, AITS brings in experienced consultants it works with regularly. AITS delivers globally.
Out of this work, AITS developed the Content Tracking System (CTS), an AI-powered monitor that scores the health of a document repository against the organization's own KPIs.
AITS is a corporate member of
the
International Institute of Applied AI Technology.
Where an engagement starts
Usually as business analyst or product SME: building the requirements, then finding and configuring the technology that the business will actually adopt. Often before any software vendor is involved.
Configure, not customize
AITS has deployed commercial off-the-shelf software in enterprise information management, BPM and document management since 2008, working with the major vendors. Configuring rather than customizing keeps every solution upgradable and gets the most from the software investment.
Clearing up "the mess"
As organizations grow, people come and go and ideas bloom and fade, processes and systems drift into a perfectly functional disorder. AITS clears it up one process at a time, documenting what is happening and what should be, as models that are reused for simulation and execution.
Measured results
Operations are reported in real time and compared with the pre-solution baseline, so improvement is clearly identified and measured, and the project's sponsors and the whole business team can show what changed.
