Lenovo and Nvidia team up to drive enterprise technology adoption

Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage promises faster AI adoption for businesses and return on capital.

Seattle, Washington.- Yuanquing Yang, President and CEO of Lenovo and Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO of Nvidia announced an alliance with the presentation of Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage for companies , during Lenovo Tech World 2024.

This is a solution that seeks to provide organizations with a “faster and more efficient” way to accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence and thus provide a greater return on investment (ROI).

According to the survey “How AI is transforming today's corporate IT”, developed by the technology company, 61% of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) consider it difficult to demonstrate the return on investment in AI.

The company noted that this joint initiative will allow companies to create generative AI use case solutions with their own data and thus be able to deliver results in real-world environments.

“We see AI improving people’s quality of life and enabling greater productivity for businesses,” Yang said.

“Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage with Nvidia helps customers achieve results faster by enabling their workforce to access relevant intelligence across personal, enterprise and public AI platforms,” Yang said.

The platform includes an AI library with “proven” AI use cases, including specific language models. The use cases span domains such as marketing, operations, IT, legal, product development, and customer service.

Are companies ready for this adoption?

Cloud computing and marketplace technology are of interest to businesses, with more than 75% of companies looking to adopt the technologies in the next five years, according to a World Economic Forum survey. Digital platforms and applications are the preferred technologies with 86% of companies hoping to incorporate them into their operations.

Fernando Sancén, director of Enki, a Mexican company dedicated to Business Intelligence, Big Data and Data Science, says that although AI is a very useful tool that is increasingly accessible to everyone, it cannot be developed without a prior implementation of Analytics.

“Today we live in an increasingly interconnected and digitalized world where companies seek to make the most of their resources in the shortest time possible. What few people know is that before using AI we need to go back a few steps to implement efficient data collection and analysis,” said Sancén.

He added that there are tools such as data virtualization, which can help companies obtain a return on investment in six months by managing information 65% faster.

According to the Mexico Digital Maturity Report, prepared by Needed Education in partnership with KIO, EY and the American Chamber/Mexico, corporations operating in Mexico are acting cautiously and experimenting with their generative AI applications. While 87% of company executives believe they need an AI strategy and more than 80% think AI will positively impact employee experience, most of these leaders do not plan to invest in this technology in 2024.
