AI Advisory

Know where AI pays off. Then make it happen.

Cloud Forces gives Canadian SMEs and mid-market companies senior, independent AI advice: where to start, what to skip, how to govern it, and who keeps it moving after the plan is written.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

You know AI matters, but not where it pays off

There is a new model, tool, or agent framework every week. Without someone who knows your business and the technology, it is hard to separate real opportunities from hype.

Generic AI advice doesn't fit your business

Most AI consulting ends with a slide deck. You need a sequenced plan built around your industry, your systems, your data, and the people who will use it.

Adoption is happening without guardrails

Staff are already pasting company data into AI tools. Without policy, data controls, and a security review, the risk grows faster than the value.

Old Way vs Cloud Forces Way

The AI-Native Difference

Cloud Forces Way
Self-directed AI research with no clear direction

One-off engagement, then nothing
Fractional AI Lead who owns the program month to month
Staff using AI with no policy or data controls
AI governance & security review aligned to PIPEDA
Vendor-led recommendations
Advice first, even when the answer is a tool you already own
No one measuring AI ROI
Quarterly results reviews against the roadmap
Core Capabilities

What's Included

Every capability powered by AI — built to deliver measurable outcomes.

AI Readiness Assessment

A review of your workflows, data, systems, and team. You get a scored readiness report and the 3–5 highest-ROI use cases, each with an effort and return estimate.

AI Roadmap

A sequenced plan covering which use cases to tackle first, which tools to use (and which to skip), budget, governance, security, and change management.

Fractional AI Lead

A senior AI lead on retainer. They run your AI program, sit in leadership meetings, review vendors, track results against the roadmap, and keep adoption moving.

AI Governance & Security Review

For mid-market organisations: AI usage policy, data classification, access controls, vendor risk, and PIPEDA alignment, reviewed against how your teams actually use AI.

Use Case Discovery Workshops

Facilitated sessions with your leadership and front-line teams to surface and rank the AI opportunities that are practical today, not in three years.

Path to Deployment

When the roadmap calls for it, our Claude Deployment team puts the priorities into production. Our managed cloud team runs the platform underneath.
