Global IT consulting giant, STX Next, is ramping up its plans for expansion with a firm commitment to integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into all of its services. This follows the recent announcement of Bartek Roszak's appointment as Head of AI, reflecting STX Next's ongoing commitment to become an AI-centric enterprise.

STX Next is a global IT consulting company providing customer-focused software services using a wide range of the latest technologies including AI-powered solutions.

The strategic pivot towards AI aims to increase the resilience and adaptability of the firm’s services, keeping STX Next at the forefront of technological evolution. This new direction for the company builds on its existing reputation as a powerhouse in Python, a key programming language commonly used in AI development.

Speaking on the firm's AI focus, Łukasz Koczwara, COO at STX Next, commented: "STX Next’s rich history and reputation as a Python powerhouse has laid the foundation for our AI transition, and underscores the company’s philosophy of placing itself at the centre of global innovation and technological growth." He further pointed out how this new strategy tailors to each customer's digital journey, delivering balanced and ethical AI deployment.

STX Next has made significant investments to tap into the AI boom, with the appointment of Bartek Roszak heading up the AI consulting services already reaping rewards within several key sectors including healthcare, fintech, logistics, e-commerce, and edtech.

Aside from internal expansion, effective partnerships have also played a role in enhancing the level of service STX Next can offer its clients. A notable case was the partnership with Squirro, an AI-powered enterprise search and insights provider, which increased the effectiveness of AI development in the business.

As part of its educational endeavour, STX Next is set to embark on a series of initiatives in 2024 aimed at enlightening its customers regarding the myriad of AI benefits. These include the launch of an AI academy and a new AI webinar series.

Looking ahead, Koczwara elaborates on STX Next's vision: “Over the next twelve months, STX Next plans to establish itself as a leader in AI-driven innovation and digital transformation. Through sustainable growth, a host of customer success stories and breakthrough AI achievements, we hope to offer the most advanced standard of service possible for clients across all sectors."

"We’re driven by results and innovation, working with businesses of various sizes and from different industries including fintech, AdTech, eCommerce, and more," the company says.

"Throughout the years, we gained a broad spectrum of expertise in building tailored solutions harnessing the power of Data Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Cloud, fostering the growth and success of our customers."
