April 14, 2026 | HANOVER, MD
A new strategic investment designed to help customers turn AI ideas into real business outcomes fast and at scale.
(HANOVER, Md., April 14, 2026) – TEKsystems Global Services, a leading provider of business and technology services, announced the launch of their Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) function, a strategic investment designed to help organizations accelerate AI adoption and value realization. The FDE team, a specialized unit of engineers, will cocreate AI-driven solutions to solve customers’ most pressing business challenges through rapid prototyping.
In today’s marketplace, advancing AI initiatives from idea to execution often stalls due to lengthy negotiations and decisions based on abstract concepts. The FDE model removes that friction by delivering working prototypes in just weeks. This gives customers early proof in their own environment, enabling faster alignment and confident investment decisions.
“Many organizations see the transformative potential of AI but may struggle to bridge the gap between idea and impact,” said Matt Payne, senior vice president and head of TEKsystems Global Services (TGS). “Our FDE function is a direct investment in our customers’ success, designed to cut through the complexity and deliver tangible value in weeks, not months. We’re helping customers reduce risk, move faster and convert their most ambitious AI goals into real business results.”
The FDE model focuses on solving real business problems—whether addressing a specific operational challenge, automating workflows or accelerating modernization efforts. The engagement follows a simple, four-step process designed to move quickly from idea to execution:
- Discovery and scope: Partner to identify a high-impact use case and define clear success criteria.
- Rapid prototyping: Build a functional prototype in under four weeks—no statement of work required.
- Business case creation: Collaborate to develop a business case and define a clear path to production.
- Transition and scale: Ensure a seamless transition to a project team to operationalize the solution in production in the customers’ cloud tenant.
By leveraging advanced AI and cloud technologies, the TGS FDE team helps customers validate long-term customer partnerships while creating repeatable solution patterns that accelerate future projects.
