"We can then hand that to a product team and to R&D and say, 'This is what customers are asking for--go develop a solution that we can then sell as a company,'" she says. The focus is on repeatable and scalable solutions, she emphasizes. The Atos team tries to understand a customer's needs and what their point of view is. It's "really important that we don't give our customers a point of view until after they've given us theirs," Flores says. It's key to build from that and really understand where someone is coming from for the best solutions. A unique approach of the lab is bringing in multiple stakeholders from different parts of the business.

"Atos has developed a differentiated experience with its North American AI Lab to provide customers tangible results which they can use to kick-start their AI strategy and take into the field immediately," said Peter Cutts, Chief Digital Transformation Officer, Atos North America. "Customers are looking for industry-specific solutions for their business needs, not a cookie cutter approach. The Atos AI Lab approach empathizes with end users' needs and engages multiple stakeholders to deliver real-world code, datasets and solutions that are repeatable and globally scalable." The Atos AI Lab is a state-of-the-art facility that combines a digital experience with design thinking methodology to allow participants to problem solve and create in a format that works best for them. The Atos AI Lab offers an Incubation workshop that aims to create a use-case ready to deploy at the end of two days, meaning customers can start driving business results quickly.
