As more businesses shift from testing AI concepts to implementing real-world solutions, the need for trusted frameworks and enterprise-grade tools continues to grow. Through IBM Partner Plus, Gallea Ai now gains direct access to IBM’s advanced AI and hybrid cloud portfolio, along with specialized training, technical enablement, and go-to-market resources. Consequently, the consultancy can shorten time-to-value for clients, reduce implementation risk, and build repeatable AI capabilities that stand strong in an increasingly automated and AI-driven business environment.

Moreover, this collaboration aligns IBM’s technology ecosystem with Gallea Ai’s proprietary AI Implementation Framework. This structured methodology guides companies through critical stages such as AI strategy development, data readiness, workflow integration, and operational deployment. By doing so, the framework ensures AI initiatives deliver measurable business outcomes while maintaining governance, organizational priorities, and brand integrity.

Importantly, Gallea Ai works closely with growth-oriented businesses that face operational complexity and evolving customer demands. Rather than treating AI as a collection of isolated projects, the firm emphasizes disciplined adoption and long-term value creation. This approach helps clients embed AI as a durable business capability that improves decision-making, operational efficiency, and customer experience over time.

Industry leaders at Gallea Ai also highlighted the significance of this milestone.

“Joining IBM Partner Plus marks an important milestone in our mission to make AI practical, accessible, and business ready for small and mid-sized organizations,” said Alessandro Rocca, Chief Operating Officer of Gallea Ai. “Our clients will benefit from IBM scalable technology portfolio while maintaining the hands-on strategic guidance, governance discipline, and implementation rigor that define our firm.”

Similarly, Ryan Mackay, Managing Director of Gallea Ai’s Neural Networks division, emphasized the opportunity this partnership creates for smaller organizations.

“For many small and mid sized businesses, the age of AI still feels like something reserved for the biggest players,” said Ryan Mackay, Managing Director of Gallea Ai’s Neural Networks division, the firm’s AI transformation consulting arm. “Partnering with IBM raises the ceiling on what we can safely deliver. Our team is now backed by the same class of AI and hybrid cloud tools that large enterprises rely on, and we use that to open doors that smaller organizations have historically been shut out of, while still keeping a clear path to more complex enterprise level applications as they grow.”

Overall, by joining IBM Partner Plus, Gallea Ai is positioning itself as a stronger AI transformation partner for SMBs seeking secure, scalable, and governance-aligned AI solutions in today’s competitive digital landscape.
