## Removed AI Adoption Risk & Proved ROI to Support Enterprise Scale

 ![Two colleagues looking at a laptop screen together]()

A global wellness company in a highly competitive, low-margin industry needed a cohesive enterprise AI strategy, but unpredictable pricing stalled budget decisions and executive commitment. Employees were turning to unauthorized AI tools, and manual searches across SharePoint and large documents produced inconsistent answers and slowed workflows. Expedient delivered a secure AI gateway and data platform that moved from proof of concept to production in 45 days, giving teams faster, more consistent access to critical information and a foundation to scale across the enterprise.
