The useful part

Enterprise across our 500-person company in 27 countries, the goal was simple: use our own company as a proving ground to discover how enterprise AI actually delivers ROI. Since the rollout of Gemini Enterprise and our previous enterprise AI deployments, Pythian observed firsthand why so many enterprise AI initiatives stall out or fail.

  • They get stuck chasing "nickel and dime" micro-efficiencies (like saving 5 minutes per user) while missing structural, high-ROI workflow transformations.
  • By proving this complete model internally first, Pythian drove a 3x surge in active user engagement and cut our database incident resolution times by 80%.
