Multiple CRN Impact Awards winner and category finalist Arinco has launched its AI Build Centre initiative, aimed at helping organisations across Australia and New Zealand rapidly ideate, design and deploy Microsoft AI solutions at scale.
The initiative is designed to bridge the gap between proof-of-value programs and full-scale production, utilising Arinco's AI Done Right framework to establish foundations for successful artificial intelligence initiatives.
Central to the AI Build Centre is Coco, Arinco's newly launched, pre-built AI application that enables organisations to quickly develop customised, multi-skilled AI assistants.
"Accelerating AI adoption across the ANZ region has been a core focus for Arinco since our inception in 2019," Chris Padgett, chief executive of Arinco, said.
"With the launch of AI Build Centre and through our strong partnership with Microsoft, we're excited to help customers with market-leading innovation and top-tier support," Padgett said.
Arinco's team of over 130 consultants, who specialise in Azure and Microsoft AI technologies, will provide end-to-end guidance throughout customers' AI journeys with AI Build Centre.
"We're providing our developers with broad access to GitHub Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot and deploying OpenAI tools for both development and production use," David Lee, Arinco's chief technology officer said.
The launch follows a significant period of growth for Arinco, with a 42 per cent increase in revenue and 117 per cent rise in data and AI projects in FY24.
Arinco cited government productivity commission research on AI and automation that suggests the technology will contribute up to $4 trillion to the Australian economy over the next decade, .
