Bridging the Gap: Engineering AI from Potential to Production with ADS
In the current landscape, the "AI Adoption Gap" is the single biggest hurdle facing enterprises. While the promise of Generative AI is clear, organizations are struggling to turn that potential into production reality.
Alis Development Services (ADS) is the specialist solutions team within Alis Exchange. While the AlisX Platform (comprising Alis Ideate and Alis Build) offers powerful self-service tools for development, ADS steps in when you need additional firepower. We are an engineering-led team obsessed with software craftsmanship, dedicated to building scalable, secure, and intelligent systems alongside—or on behalf of—our clients.
Here is when you should engage ADS, the accelerated process we use, and the flexible models we offer to ensure your success.
Moments That Benefit from ADS
ADS operates as an extension of your team, ensuring that every artifact from Alis Ideate and every workspace in Alis Build is executed with engineering rigor. You should engage ADS when you need to:
- Solve "Impossible" Regulatory Challenges: We specialize in bespoke AI solutions for high-stakes environments. From automating complex governance workflows to mapping thousands of financial instruments, we handle high-volume, sensitive data with precision.
- Reimagine, Don't Just Automate: We don't just automate the status quo. We use AI to fundamentally rethink core processes and experiences, integrating seamless human-in-the-loop oversight.
- Accelerate Compliance: We bake in enterprise-grade security and compliance from day one, ensuring your systems are secure by design.
Our Process: The Accelerated Path to Production
We have codified a three-step journey that takes you from a raw concept to a scaled, enterprise-grade solution. This process leverages the AlisX platform to move faster than traditional development cycles.
1. Design Sprint: Ideation & Scoping
- Duration: ~1-4 weeks (Complimentary).
- The Goal: De-risk your AI opportunities and define business cases.
- The Method: We leverage our AI context engine, Alis Ideate, to capture critical pain points and opportunities. We collaboratively define a clear, contextually rich situational awareness of your operating environment to ensure we are solving the right problem.
2. Prototyping Sprint: AI Validation & Impact
- Duration: ~1-3 Months.
- The Goal: Validate technology fit and quantify AI impact.
- The Method: We execute a rapid prototyping sprint on 2-3 selected use cases. This phase goes beyond simple mockups; it includes essential integrations and rigorous AI model evaluation to ensure performance and accuracy before we commit to scaling.
3. Dev & Deploy: Develop & Scale
- Duration: ~3-5 Months.
- The Goal: Accelerated, full-scale development and deployment.
- The Method: Powered by Alis Build, we construct the end-to-end solution architecture. This involves embedding robust security and compliance measures from the ground up, conducting rigorous user acceptance testing, and establishing feedback loops to ensure the final product is intuitive and effective.
Engagement Models
We believe in flexible, empowering partnerships. Whether you need us to build for you or build with you, we have a model that fits.
Turnkey Delivery (Embedded Squads)
For clients who want to move fast but lack internal capacity, ADS provides experienced development teams with built-in project scoping and management capabilities. We take full ownership of the lifecycle, using the AlisX platform to deliver production-ready GenAI in weeks rather than months.
Partner Enablement (Co-Innovation)
We want to empower our clients as builders. Through initiatives like the Agentic AI Roundtable and our partnership with the TD Synnex Google Cloud Center of Excellence, we equip your internal teams to build cutting-edge systems. In this model, we act as strategic partners, guiding your teams as they utilize Alis Ideate and Alis Build to execute their own vision.
Outcomes to Expect
Our philosophy is simple: Engineering AI for Real-World Impact. When you partner with ADS, you move beyond "demo-ware" to measurable business growth.
- Faster Executive Alignment: Transparent burn-downs and clear technical specifications generated via Alis Ideate.
- Policy-Ready Guardrails: Agents designed with enterprise-grade security and compliance baked in.
Repeatable Assets:
We don't just write code; we build intellectual property. Using AI-accelerated CodeBlocks within Alis Build, we package modular subsystems that you can reuse across your organization.
