Ayoob AI is a consultancy based in the north of the England that enhances business workflows by creating systems that focus on strategic opportunities and transformations.
Ayoob AI's suite will bring services to Okana that offer "bespoke solutions that both analyse and amplify and help to unlock productivity and efficiencies across business operations", according to Okana.
Husain Ayoob, CEO of Ayoob AI, said: "Okana’s global reputation, market presence and strong client and supplier relationships makes it a perfect fit for Ayoob AI. By bringing together two digital thought leaders, we are enhancing our capabilities, expanding our reach, and building a strong foundation for the future."
Okana MD DrGraham Kelly added: "Ayoob AI is an exciting and innovative business that delivers fully tailored, full code solutions that empower businesses to achieve more with precision and efficiency. Leveraging Ayoob AI’s expertise in this field will further expand Okana’s range of services across multiple sectors."
Meanwhile, PMDL Architecture and Design has more than 60 staff in offices across Australia and Hong Kong providing architectural solutions in the education, living, retail, hospitality, leisure and commercial sectors.
Kelly said: "PMDL is a long-established architectural practice and perfectly compliments the current Okana partners already in Australia and Hong Kong. From the moment we started speaking with PMDL, it was clear that our values aligned. PMDL is known for strong project leadership and collaborative stakeholder engagement processes, critical in sectors such as education where multiple voices need alignment."
