By Todd L. Dietrich, IGP, CIPM, CIGO/AI

Introduction

Launching AI solutions marks a milestone for small professional services firms, but the journey is continuing. To keep your law, accounting, engineering, or consulting practice thriving, those solutions need ongoing care—like maintaining a ship for smooth sailing. In this edition of our AABCO’s AI Navigator Series we will be covering AABCO’s Maintain Services, which ensure your AI tools stay effective, compliant, and aligned with client needs. In this post, we’ll explore how we help your firm achieve long-term AI success.

The Need for Ongoing Support

Unlike Ronco’s Showtime Rotisserie in the old informercials, AI isn’t “set it and forget it.” Client expectations evolve, regulations tighten, and technologies advance—without maintenance, your tools could drift off course. For professional services firms, ongoing support is critical to:

  • Sustain Performance: Ensure tools meet client demands.
  • Ensure Compliance: Adhere to data privacy laws like GDPR or CCPA and new AI laws as the evolve.
  • Adapt to Growth: Align AI with your firm’s scaling goals.

AABCO’s Maintain Services keep your AI steady, no matter the tides.

Solution Maintenance: Keeping Tools Shipshape
