ASGN is at the forefront of the generative AI transformation, working both internally and with its enterprise customer base to develop strategic use cases for GenAI technologies. Collaborating with Microsoft is a key step in advancing the Company’s internal usage of AI, preparing its team of IT consultants to become experts in cutting-edge technologies to best support its commercial and government client base.
“Microsoft has been an important client for many years,” said ASGN Chief Executive Officer, Ted Hanson. “The ability to now partner with them on such an important area of technological development across industries is a very exciting and rewarding opportunity. We look forward to perfecting our usage of GenAI so that we can guide our clients in the development of their own strategic AI roadmaps.”
ASGN invests in six core areas, including leadership, recruiting in-demand skillsets, training and skill development, partnerships, internal AI tools, and client AI roadmaps.
