The companies pulling ahead aren’t the ones with the biggest budgets. They’re the ones closest to the problem.
AI is changing what companies can accomplish without enormous teams or enterprise-level budgets. Larger organizations may have more to spend, but mid-market companies have something they can’t buy: speed. You can identify an opportunity on Tuesday, make a decision on Wednesday and start building while a larger competitor is still working through approvals.
But speed only matters if you’re solving the right problem. The people building your AI need to understand how your business works, where the real opportunities are and which ones are worth pursuing. That’s precisely where the traditional model breaks.

A Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) works directly alongside your team to understand how your business operates, identify high-value AI opportunities and build the solutions.
Forward Deployed Engineering is a model built by the most technically sophisticated companies in the world for a simple reason: the fastest way to build software that fits a business is to put the builder inside it.
Led by Kristofer Low, our FDE team works from your office. They attend your meetings, sit through your month-end close, watch your ops team work around the system nobody wants to touch. For all practical purposes, they’re your employee โ with the difference that they have the technical depth and delivery record to build the thing they just identified.
We are not trying to sell you technology. We’re trying to help you compete, grow, and stay focused on your actual business.
That means we don’t force every company into the same solution. We build around your operations using the best available platforms – including our partnerships with Anthropic and Microsoft – rather than around a product with a license fee attached. That could mean custom AI agents, workflow automation, or other AI solutions built around the specific needs of your business.
AI Agents
Purpose-built agents that understand your business context, take action, and work alongside your team around the clock to get work done.
Agentic Workflow Automations
AI that handles multi-step tasks across your systems, so your team spends less time on repetitive work and more time on high-value decisions.
Custom AI Solutions
AI tailored to your business, data, and goals, so you get tools that fit how you work and deliver measurable results.
Not every problem is worth solving with AI. We help you determine which opportunities
are worth pursuing, which solutions make sense and which can generate value for your business.
Built in our own business before it’s built in yours.
Our AI Center of Excellence (CoE) is where alliant tests what’s next. On ourselves, first.
The CoE team is made up of experts from the likes of Deloitte, Accenture, Microsoft, and NASA. People who have delivered complex technology in the real world, not just advised on it. alliant runs as a fully AI-enabled organization, and we invest heavily in R&D, experimentation, and incubation.
The CoE is also pioneering work alongside NVIDIA and Microsoft applying AI to some of the largest open questions about our universe. For mid-market companies, that means access to the capabilities of an AI Center of Excellence without having to build the entire function in-house.
Everything we learn there arrives in your building as something practical.

The questions we answer before we begin…
What does an AI consulting firm actually do?
The good ones don’t start with AI. They start with your business. Where are you losing time, money or capacity? What’s harder than it should be? Where could AI actually change the economics? Then they build. At alliant, strategy doesn’t get handed off to someone who wasn’t in the room. We stay through implementation.
How do we know which AI opportunities are actually worth pursuing?
Put a number on them. What does the problem cost today? What would it cost to solve? Will anyone actually use what we build? How quickly does it pay back? Our AI Opportunity Assessment ranks the opportunities worth pursuing and, just as importantly, tells you which ones aren’t.
Does our data need to be ready before we start with AI?
No. Nobody’s data is ready. Waiting until everything is clean, connected and perfect is how AI projects spend two years going nowhere. We start with the highest-value use case, fix the data that use case actually needs and build from there.
How do we minimize the risk of AI?
We minimize AI risk by building in governance from day one, including human oversight, data privacy and security controls, rigorous testing for accuracy and bias, and ongoing monitoring so your AI solutions stay safe, compliant, and trustworthy.
How do we manage token cost?
We keep your token costs predictable by matching each task to the most cost-effective model, optimizing prompts and caching, and setting usage budgets with real-time monitoring and alerts so you always know what youโre spending
Our goal is simple: take the big AI question off your plate.
alliant puts an AI expert in your office to work beside you every day, turning AI from a question into something your
business can put to work, so you can focus on building what comes next.
We donโt just build what you ask for. We build what you need.
