Netrio Launches AI Advisory and Transformation Practice

Netrio today announced a new AI advisory and transformation practice to help organizations with AI evaluation, strategy, governance, deployment and adoption. The new offering enables customers to move from fragmented experimentation to structured, scalable AI capabilities aligned with business goals.

Despite significant investment and interest in AI, many organizations struggle to realize measurable value and identify and structure shadow AI efforts into a common corporate goal. Industry analysts estimate that most AI initiatives fail to move beyond pilot phases, often due to a lack of governance, unclear use cases and disconnected deployment strategies. Within the mid-market, many companies lack the policy frameworks, risk controls, and operating models needed to adopt AI in a secure and sustainable way.

Netrio’s AI advisory and transformation services address these challenges through a comprehensive approach that connects strategy, security and execution.

The services portfolio includes:

  • AI Readiness, Governance and Security: Assesses current AI usage, identifies “shadow AI,” and establishes policy, risk controls, and governance frameworks, giving organizations a clear and secure foundation for adoption.
  • AI Strategy and Roadmap: Aligns AI initiatives with business objectives by prioritizing use cases, defining a phased roadmap and providing an actionable plan for investment and execution.
  • AI Platform Deployment and Integration: Supports the secure rollout of AI platforms and integrates them into real business workflows, ensuring scalability, proper access controls and long-term operational support.
  • AI Enablement, Adoption and Ongoing Support: Drives user adoption through training, playbooks and ongoing optimization, helping organizations move from pilot programs to sustained, measurable business value.

Together, these services provide a structured path for organizations to move beyond experimentation, deploy AI responsibly and generate meaningful outcomes across the business.

“AI has enormous potential, but most organizations are still in the early stages of figuring out how to apply it in a meaningful way,” said Gina Murphy, president and chief transformation officer of Netrio. “Mid-market enterprises need a practical, governed path forward – one that connects strategy to execution and delivers measurable outcomes. Our AI advisory and transformation services are designed to help customers move beyond experimentation and build real, lasting AI capabilities that support their business objectives.”

As part of this launch, Netrio has named Al Calabrese vice president of AI services. Calabrese will lead the delivery and evolution of Netrio’s AI services portfolio, partnering with customers to develop and execute AI strategies that drive real operational and business outcomes. He brings deep experience in technology consulting and transformation, with prior leadership roles at Accenture, Navisite, and Velocity Technology Solutions.

“AI is at the top of every customer’s agenda but turning that priority into measurable business value is where most organizations get stuck,” Calabrese said. “Netrio is uniquely positioned to close that gap, bringing together strategy, security, and execution to build AI systems that are ready for production. I’m excited to lead this effort and help drive the next chapter of growth for Netrio.”
