PCR Business Systems helps Northeast Ohio companies navigate complex technology decisions. AI consulting is the next chapter of that work, providing honest guidance that helps your business move forward with confidence.
AI consulting isn’t about handing you a list of tools and wishing you luck. It starts by understanding how your business in Akron or Cleveland actually works, including your workflows, your team, and your industry, and building a realistic plan from there.
Strategy development aligned to your goals. We start by understanding where your business is today, where you want to go, and what role AI can play. This isn’t a generic framework but rather a plan built around how your specific organization operates.
Tool selection and vendor guidance. The AI marketplace is crowded and changes fast. We help you evaluate options honestly, avoid the hype, and choose tools that fit your business without creating unnecessary risk or complexity.
Implementation planning and ongoing support. A strategy is only useful if it leads somewhere. We map out a clear, phased implementation plan and stay connected as the tools evolve and your needs change so you are never navigating it alone.
You’ve heard a lot about AI but don’t have a clear plan. You know it matters for your Akron or Cleveland business, you just aren’t sure which tools are worth your time or where to start without wasting money.
You’ve tried a few tools but they aren’t connected to a strategy. Some team members are using AI on their own, but there’s no consistent approach and no way to measure whether it’s actually helping.
You’re in a regulated industry and need guidance on what’s appropriate. Financial services, insurance, healthcare, and legal organizations in Northeast Ohio have specific questions about AI compliance. We address those directly.
You want someone local who understands your business. Not a national vendor pushing a product. A partner who knows the Northeast Ohio market and can meet you where you are in plain language, on your timeline.

Choosing the wrong AI tools, or implementing the right ones the wrong way, can create real risk for your business.

Not a generic AI framework. A plan built around how your specific organization in Akron or Cleveland operates, prioritized by what will make the most difference fastest.
We don’t sell AI tools. We help you evaluate them. That means advice that’s actually in your interest not influenced by vendor relationships or commissions.
As a SOC 2 Type II certified firm, we approach every AI recommendation with your data security front of mind. What you adopt won’t create risk you didn’t plan for.
We’ve been serving Northeast Ohio businesses since 2004. When you have a question six months from now, you can pick up the phone and talk to someone who knows your business.
What does an AI consultant actually do?
We help your business figure out where AI can add real value, which tools are worth using, and how to implement them without disrupting your operations or exposing your data. Think of it as a trusted advisor who understands both the technology and how businesses like yours in Akron and Cleveland actually run.
How is AI consulting different from IT consulting?
Traditional IT consulting focuses on your network, hardware, and security. AI consulting focuses on how your team works and where intelligent tools can make that work faster and more accurate. At PCR we do both, so our AI advice is grounded in a full picture of your environment.
Do you only work with large businesses?
Not at all. Most of our clients are small to midsized businesses in Northeast Ohio with 10 to 200 employees. The most impactful AI applications are well within reach for smaller organizations in Akron, Cleveland, and surrounding communities.
What if we already have an IT team or IT provider?
AI consulting is a natural complement to your existing IT support. We work alongside internal teams and other providers regularly. Our focus is on helping your leadership and business teams understand AI strategy, not replacing the technical support you already have.
How long does an AI consulting engagement take?
A focused strategy and roadmap typically takes a few weeks. Ongoing advisory support is available on a continuing basis. We’ll give you a clear picture of timing after our discovery call with no commitment required to have that first conversation.
What does it cost?
It depends on the scope. We’ll give you a clear, honest picture of what an engagement looks like for your specific situation after our discovery call. The initial conversation is always free.
