ALKU Launches Dedicated AI Solutions Division, ALKU Intelligence

Solving the enterprise AI execution gap with dedicated delivery teams and proven accelerators.

ANDOVER, Mass., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ALKU, a leading specialized staffing firm, today announced the launch of ALKU Intelligence, a dedicated division delivering end-to-end AI, data engineering, and advanced analytics solutions.

The launch represents a key milestone following ALKU's acquisition of rockITdata earlier this month, formally integrating its advanced AI and data engineering practice under the ALKU brand. Chris Ferrara, who joins ALKU through the acquisition, leads the division as Chief AI Officer.

ALKU Intelligence works alongside ALKU's established staffing practices to deliver a complete technical lifecycle. While specialized staffing teams continue to provide expert consultants on demand, the solutions division deploys dedicated delivery teams equipped with proprietary accelerators to take full ownership of end-to-end AI and data implementations. By prioritizing achievable, high-value AI use cases and applying reusable intellectual property, the division delivers an average time-to-value of under 90 days, even for complex, enterprise-grade deployments.

"ALKU has always been at its best when we listen to our clients and evolve around their needs," said James Cassin-Reed, Vice President of Revenue Strategy and Partnerships at ALKU. "Our clients are moving past AI experimentation into real deployment, but they need strategic direction alongside technical capacity. Bringing dedicated delivery capabilities under the ALKU brand allows us to solve bigger, more complex challenges for the organizations we serve."

"Organizations have traditionally had to choose between accessing specialized talent and engaging a consulting partner that takes responsibility for the outcome," said Chris Ferrara, Chief AI Officer of ALKU Intelligence. "ALKU Intelligence brings those capabilities together. We combine the discipline, accelerators, and accountability of a project-based consulting firm with the scale and reach of ALKU's extensive talent network, giving clients a faster, more adaptable way to turn AI opportunities into measurable business results."
