# FractionX > AI for Mid-Market Companies FractionX is a fractional IT consulting and AI engineering firm headquartered in Apex, North Carolina, founded in 2011. The firm serves small and mid-market companies. Most companies are using AI. The companies pulling ahead are building with it — creating their own applications and agents that handle work their teams were never supposed to be doing. FractionX helps mid-market companies make that transition. ## Services - **FX Blueprint** — AI Readiness & Assessment. A four-pillar assessment across strategy, culture, governance, and technology that identifies the first AI project a company should build. The deliverable is the lowest-effort, highest-impact application most likely to succeed and create internal believers. - **FX Guardrails** — AI Acceptable Use Policy & Governance. Inventories AI tool usage across the organization, builds the acceptable use policy, trains employees on responsible AI use, and implements ongoing monitoring software. - **FX Build** — AI Design & Build with Enablement. Custom AI application development with three collaboration models depending on client technical capability. FractionX leads the build. Software is deployed in the client cloud environment and integrated with existing systems. All code, documentation, and IP is owned by the client. - **FX Evolve** — Ongoing AI Operations & Strategic Partnership. Operating partner for AI applications. Monitors applications, responds when issues arise, optimizes performance and cost, keeps software current as AI advances, meets regularly to advance the roadmap. Month-to-month, no long-term contracts. ## Industries - **Manufacturing** — Manufacturers have been collecting data for decades. Most of it has never done anything useful. It sits in systems that were never designed to talk to each other, typically from 20+ year old boutique vendors. AI enabled application development changed the cost and timeline equation entirely. - **Private Equity** — FractionX gets dropped into portcos by operating partners who have already identified IT as a performance problem. The work is always the same. Find the revenue the business cannot see because the data has never been connected. Eliminate the cost sitting in the technology stack that should not be there. ## Key Facts The FractionX team principals bring more than thirty years of combined experience delivering IT consulting and software engineering services to enterprise and mid-market clients. - AWS Advanced Consulting Partner - Every team member is AWS certified - Operates as a virtual company with no on-premises infrastructure - Aligned with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 control frameworks - Clients own all code, architecture, IP, and systems built - Software deployed in client cloud environment, not FractionX infrastructure - Time and materials billing with upfront good faith estimates - Subcontractors required to carry their own E&O and Cyber Liability insurance ## Verified Results - Replaced $1M annual data warehousing vendor contract with $250K solution.
