Rapid Circle Launches Copilot AI Centre Of Excellence To Accelerate AI Innovation In Australia, New Zealand

Melbourne, Australia – November 25, 2024 – Rapid Circle has launched its Copilot AI Centre of Excellence (CoE), a hub of innovation and expertise dedicated to the deployment, adoption, and optimisation of AI-driven solutions. Leveraging Microsoft's Copilot capabilities, the hub will create intelligent applications that enhance productivity and drive business value for Rapid Circle customers.

The CoE will serve as an innovation hub where Rapid Circle will experiment with and develop cutting-edge AI technologies, positioning the company at the forefront of intelligent workplace solutions, application modernisation, and cloud transformation. It will foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation, encouraging teams to explore new AI use cases and solutions.

The CoE will also feature dedicated spaces for showcasing and demonstrating AI solutions to customers. Interactive exhibits and live demonstrations will illustrate how AI can transform various business processes, improve decision-making, streamline operations, and enhance user experiences.

Highlighting real-world examples of successful AI implementations will be a key component of the CoE. Case studies will showcase how Rapid Circle has helped organisations achieve significant improvements in efficiency and innovation through AI. These success stories will demonstrate the tangible benefits of AI and inspire customers to embark on their own AI journeys.

In addition, Rapid Circle will offer training and enablement programs to help customers and partners build their AI capabilities. Workshops, hands-on labs and certification programs will upskill teams and ensure they are equipped to leverage AI effectively. The training programs will cover a range of topics, from AI fundamentals to advanced AI techniques and best practices.

Rodney Hobbs, CTO of Rapid Circle, said, "The executives I talk to all share the same challenges: driving agility, achieving operational efficiency, and uplifting experiences both inside and outside the enterprise. The opening of our CoE will deliver real outcomes as AI permeates across the business landscape, while creating further opportunities for Rapid Circle to accelerate its continued expansion across Australia and New Zealand."

The CoE will also feature collaboration spaces where Rapid Circle can work closely with customers and partners to co-create AI solutions. These spaces will facilitate brainstorming sessions, design thinking workshops, and collaborative development projects. By working together, Rapid Circle and its customers can develop tailored AI solutions that address specific business challenges and drive innovation.

Cassandra Ashworth, CEO of Rapid Circle, said, "At Rapid Circle, we believe that the key to success lies in our ability to co-create innovative business solutions with our customers and Microsoft. This collaborative approach allows us to leverage the strengths of each party, ensuring that we deliver solutions that are not only effective but also sustainable and aligned with our customers' strategic objectives".
