Lenovo has officially announced the introduction of new advisory and implementation services, translating to industry solutions and hybrid AI platforms that can deliver modern infrastructure and full-stack capabilities critical in the context of transforming enterprise IT for AI. 

Under this expansion, the company will conceive a complete framework for enterprises to build, scale and operate AI factories that require high-performance servers. This the new framework will achieve through a combination of accelerated computing, networking, and partner integrations. More on that would reveal, when leveraged in conjunction, these solutions tread up a long distance to help businesses speed the deployment of purpose-built AI across all environments.

To understand the significance of such a development, though, we must take into account Lenovo Global CIO Playbook’s word, which claims that more than two-thirds of organizations are yet to see ROI from AI investments and also continue to struggle with scaling effectively because of training, adoption, and technical gaps.

 Not just that, with AI budgets tipped to take up almost 20% of IT budgets in 2025, enterprise IT faces a pressing need to modernize and cultivate an infrastructure, which can deliver the efficiency, performance and scalability needed for the desired ROI. 

Against that, Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage brings together data, models, services and proven use cases to help businesses activate AI across their entire workforce, operations and data footprint. In fact, this AI-adoption framework for generative AI tools can accelerate productivity and achieve a 31% increase in time saved per week.

Talk about the whole value proposition on a slightly deeper level, we begin from Lenovo’s AI People Readiness assessment, which is designed to accurately assess employee readiness for AI transformation and identify targeted enablement strategies, personas, and high-impact use cases.

Next up, we have the prospect of Persona-based Training & Engagement. This one arrives on the scene bearing an ability to tailor adoption programs based on employee roles, thus accelerating confidence, reducing resistance, and boosting engagement.

Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the availability of Copilot Adoption, a solution geared towards empowering employees to successfully integrate generative AI tools, like Copilot through targeted training, change planning, and productivity tracking.

Beyond that, we have AI Governance & Cultural Readiness coming into play. The idea here is to help leadership and teams align on responsible AI use, overcome resistance, and integrate AI-friendly ways of working.

Lenovo also took this opportunity to unveil its ThinkSystem SR680a V4 technology, which brings forth substantial computational performance for model development, along with graphical and simulation workloads across any industry. The said air-cooled system features, at launch, Intel Xeon 6 CPUs and eight NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, interconnected with high-speed NVIDIA NVLink to achieve unparalleled computational power and acceleration.

It also enjoys eight NVIDIA SuperNICs and an NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPU to accelerate network connectivity, data access, and secure AI workloads. All in all, this new system delivers up to 11x faster AI inferencing on large language models, 7x computational capability, and 4x more memory compared to previous generations.

Turning our attention towards some of the real-world use cases of Lenovo’s latest brainchild, they begin from Hospitality with Centific AI Data Foundry and NVIDIA, something which empowers hotels and resorts to access capabilities that boost guest loyalty, optimize efficiency, and drive profitability. These capabilities include real-time personalization, streamlined operations, and data-driven insights.

Then, there is Workplace Safety & PPE Compliance with Avathon Visual AI and NVIDIA solution. The stated mechanism basically facilitates real-time hazard and PPE compliance monitoring to instantly detect safety risks, violations, and hazardous behaviors. The solution can also seamlessly automate corrective actions to prevent accidents.

Joining the mix up next would be Retail and Smart Spaces with WaitTime and Intel solution. Users can, in essence, leverage the given technology to transform camera feeds into instant insights that drive revenue growth and enhance guest satisfaction by up to 30% in some deployments.

​“With the Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage, we are helping customers turn AI potential into real performance gains, enabling every part of the organization to work smarter, faster, and with greater confidence,” said Ken Wong, Executive Vice President and President, Solutions and Services Group, Lenovo.
