PLATFORM AGNOSTIC
We Build On Your Platform
AI strategy and AI agents only create value when they fit the technology stack your business already runs on. We design our engagements that way. Agile Rising builds AI strategy, agents, and governance on the platform you’ve already chosen — whether that’s IBM watsonx, Microsoft Azure and Copilot Studio, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Databricks, Snowflake Cortex, Open AI, Anthropic, or a combination of them.
Our AI Operating Model™ is platform-agnostic by design. We help you make the strategic and architectural choices that shape AI in your enterprise, then execute them on the platforms that serve your business best. That includes building custom agents, orchestrating multi-platform workflows, and putting governance in place that works across every AI system you run, regardless of where it was built.
Orchestrate and Govern AI Across the Enterprise
IBM watsonx is one example of Agile Rising’s broader AI delivery capabilities—not the limit of them. Through our deep IBM partnership, we help enterprises use watsonx’s open, enterprise-ready portfolio to orchestrate agents across tools, applications, and models while applying consistent governance across the AI lifecycle.
Two strengths set the portfolio apart: openness and reach. watsonx Orchestrate can coordinate third-party agents alongside agents built with watsonx and supports more than 100 commercial and open-source models. watsonx.governance enables organizations to govern AI from IBM, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS, Azure, Meta, open-source providers, and others through a common framework rather than managing separate processes for every vendor.
Together, these capabilities provide greater visibility and consistency from AI design and development through deployment, monitoring, updates, and retirement. IBM watsonx.governance has also been recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AI Governance Platforms.
watsonx™
Agile Rising is an IBM partner with deep watsonx delivery experience. For clients standardizing on IBM, we can implement the enterprise-grade watsonx portfolio end to end. For clients building hybrid AI solutions or using other platforms, watsonx can complement their existing technology, and we apply the same operating-model, governance, and agent-development discipline across every environment.

How we work
Our AI Solutions
A comprehensive approach to AI Strategy and Execution — helping you build a smarter, more efficient organization ready for the future of AI.
phase 1
Strategy
We work with you to define your AI vision, identify where AI creates differentiated value, and create a roadmap you can actually execute.
Our work is grounded in the Agile Rising AI Operating Model™ — a blueprint for how an enterprise operates in an AI-first world, spanning strategy, value streams, team design, workflows, governance, platforms, and talent.
This includes:
Define Your AI Ambition
Defining your AI ambition and the specific domains where AI-first operation is the right choice.
Design Interaction Patterns
Designing the mix of human-in-the-loop, copilot, agent, and automated patterns that fits your risk and outcome profile.
Establish Governance
Set risk tiers, human oversight, evaluation, observability, that lets AI scale safely without slowing the organization.
Build Your Roadmap
Producing a staged implementation roadmap with concrete artifacts at each step: ambition statement, opportunity backlog, team charters, pilot reviews, pattern library, outcomes dashboard.
phase 2
Execution
We bring your AI strategy to life with custom delivery work, not just advisory.
Custom Agent Development
- We design, build, and deploy agents that automate real business processes — not demo-stage copilots. That includes agent architecture, tool integration, human-in-the-loop workflows, evaluation, observability, and governance scaffolding.
- We build agents on whichever platform fits your stack: watsonx Orchestrate, Azure AI Foundry, Bedrock Agents, Vertex Agent Builder, LangGraph, CrewAI, or custom orchestration frameworks.
Platform Engineering & Integration
- We implement the shared services that make AI repeatable at scale — model access layers, retrieval infrastructure, evaluation harnesses, observability, and governance tooling — and integrate them into the enterprise systems you already depend on. We work equally well on IBM, Microsoft, AWS, Google, Databricks, Snowflake, and best-of-breed open platforms.
Organization Change & Developer Enablement
- We help you manage the effects of AI adoption on your teams — staffing, training, workflow redesign — and we help your developers build AI into their applications and products through coaching, reference patterns, and embedded support.
