Jed Williams, Director of Technology, said, "Just as compelling was that the platform was clearly designed with AI in mind from day one, rather than AI being bolted on." Article content For Wasatch's technology organization, the move to Ridgeline also represents a significant shift away from managing on-premises infrastructure toward focusing on strategic initiatives. Article content "We could hand off the infrastructure management - servers, patching, uptime, scaling - to Ridgeline and let our team focus on higher-value initiatives," said Williams. Article content The implementation "felt like a true partnership," according to Strasburg. "The Ridgeline implementation team truly became an extension of our own. They invested the time to understand how Wasatch operates, and when we encountered complex challenges - as every implementation does - they responded quickly, brought the right people to the table, and worked collaboratively with us to develop practical solutions."
