MANILA, Philippines (Jul 2025) — Lenovo is stepping up its game in enterprise AI with the expanded Lenovo Hybrid AI Advantage, a full-stack platform offering new services, ready-to-deploy infrastructure, and cross-industry solutions designed to help businesses move faster from AI testing to full-scale deployment.
Aimed at overcoming the common roadblocks of training, scalability, and return on investment (ROI), the expansion includes AI adoption and change management services, targeted industry solutions, and hybrid platforms developed with tech giants like Cisco, IBM and NVIDIA. These offerings address a growing demand for effective AI systems, especially as global IT budgets allocate nearly 20% to AI in 2025.
According to Lenovo’s Global CIO Playbook, two-thirds of organizations are still struggling to generate ROI from AI investments. Lenovo aims to close that gap with an end-to-end AI framework, including the Lenovo AI Adoption and Change Management Services that assess readiness, train teams, and implement responsible AI use based on roles and real-world impact.
One standout feature is the Lenovo AI People Readiness Assessment, which evaluates workforce readiness and matches it with personalized training plans. Meanwhile, Copilot Adoption support helps businesses roll out generative AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, ensuring better integration and productivity tracking.
In the Philippines and across Asia, AI adoption is accelerating. Lenovo’s hybrid AI solutions cater to various industries—hotels use NVIDIA-powered data foundry tools to improve guest experience, retailers leverage real-time crowd analytics with Intel, and factories deploy visual AI for defect detection and safety compliance.
Lenovo’s hybrid AI factory platforms also mark a leap in infrastructure innovation. The new ThinkSystem SR680a V4 system, for example, boasts up to 11x faster inferencing for large language models using NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPUs, SuperNICs, and BlueField-3 DPU. These energy-efficient systems allow businesses to deploy advanced AI with minimal complexity, whether on-premise, at the edge, or in the cloud.
Further enhancements include partnerships with IBM watsonx and Cisco to support faster AI model deployment and superior network performance. These integrated platforms bring flexible deployment options for both greenfield sites and existing infrastructures, making AI adoption more accessible and scalable.
Lenovo reports a 40% year-over-year global increase in customer adoption, with use cases ranging from airline operations to scientific research and diagnostics. Locally, the relevance of tailored AI solutions for workforce productivity and customer engagement makes Lenovo’s offerings highly suitable for Filipino enterprises navigating digital transformation.
