↑ 0%Cisco Strategic Assessment: improve data quality and align key stakeholders gain visibility, strengthen governance, and support informed decisions across your Cisco estate. Reading Time: 2 minutes As Cisco software environments grow more complex - spanning networking, security, and hybrid cloud - many organizations struggle with one persistent challenge: visibility. Without a clear, shared understanding of what's deployed, how it's supported, and how it's being used, teams make renewal and investment decisions with incomplete information. SHI has designed its Cisco Strategic Assessment to change that. Built to support informed decision-making rather than compliance enforcement, this assessment helps organizations establish a reliable view of their Cisco estate while strengthening internal alignment and governance. What to expect. The assessment begins with an install base review that consolidates available data to highlight documentation gaps and improve inventory completeness. This creates a more dependable foundation for conversations across IT, procurement, and software asset management teams. From there, SHI provide support coverage and renewal context - explaining Cisco support constructs, renewal timing windows, and replacement tiers - so internal stakeholders can plan hand-offs and renewals with fewer surprises. You'll also gain practical insights into software adoption. By reviewing usage signals and version or feature data from provided inputs, its assessment surfaces opportunities for standardization and more consistent processes across sites and teams. For organizations operating under Cisco Enterprise Agreements (EAs), SHI include advisory-level guidance on EA True-Forward readiness, outlining growth-allowance concepts, annual checkpoints, and suggested internal preparation steps. What you'll gain. With its help, you can identify unused assets, optimize contracts, and better align Cisco investments with business outcomes - all while leveraging SHI's certified Cisco specialists as a trusted partner. For organizations preparing for renewals or seeking stronger governance around Cisco platforms, its Cisco Strategic Assessment provides the visibility and structure needed to move from reactive decisions to confident, proactive planning.

Published on: 3/24/2026 SOMERSET, N.J. - March 24, 2026 - SHI International, one of the world's leading technology solutions providers, has been named a winner in the 2026 Artificial Intelligence Excellence Awards in the Agentic AI category. Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, the award recognizes organizations that apply AI to drive real, measurable impact. This year's program honored winners across 36 industries and more than 15 countries. SHI earned recognition for a body of work over the past 12 months that moved agentic AI from concept to production across enterprise and public-sector environments through their Imagine, Experiment, Adopt, and Scale Framework. Highlights include: * AI & Cyber Labs: A new facility in Piscataway, New Jersey, built with NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure, where customers can prototype, test, and validate AI use cases against their own data, workloads, and security requirements before deploying to production. * Digital AI Ambassador platform: The SHI Digital AI Ambassador is a unified, scalable engagement platform that operationalizes AI by combining automation, personalization, action, and immersion. It transforms how people access information, complete tasks, and interact with services across web, mobile, kiosks, physical spaces, and immersive environments. By integrating advanced speech recognition, vision, agentic and generative AI, and digital ambassador rendering, it delivers consistent, human-like interactions while centralizing intelligence, governance, and orchestration to reduce friction, improve outcomes, and strengthen brand trust. * Agentic AI smart city deployment: Working with HPE, NVIDIA, Kamiwaza, and other partners, SHI helped the Town of Vail, Colorado, become one of the first U.S. municipalities to deploy an agentic AI smart city solution. The deployment includes wildfire detection through AI-powered video analytics, an agentic AI accessibility solution that achieved federal Section 508 compliance in a single weekend - a project the town had budgeted three years and several million dollars to complete - and a digital AI civic assistant for residents and visitors.

SHI International has partnered with Brownsville, Texas, to deploy a Smart City public safety solution combining Centific's VerityAI, NVIDIA AI and Lenovo's AI-accelerated platforms. The system integrates real-time visual data from safety cameras across the city of 190,000 residents to improve incident response and situational awareness. The solution uses Centific's VerityAI to interpret visual data and identify potential incidents, built on NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint and NVIDIA Cosmos Reason technologies. SHI's modular architecture integrates on-premises computing, cloud services, networking and cybersecurity into a single ecosystem. According to Deloitte, AI-enabled public safety tools could reduce crime by 30-40% and accelerate emergency response times by 20-35%. The infrastructure is designed to support additional capabilities including traffic management, fire detection and energy optimisation.
Brownsville, Texas, deploys Smart City solution with world-class innovation from SHI International and leading AI technology developers. Published on: 3/11/2026 SOMERSET, N.J. - March 11, 2026 - SHI International, one of the world's leading technology solutions providers, has extended its partnership with the City of Brownsville, Texas, to build a Smart City public safety solution. The solution combines Centific's VerityAI(TM), NVIDIA AI, and Lenovo's AI-Accelerated platforms, delivered through SHI's scalable Smart City solution, design, and architecture. The Smart City solution integrates key features into a single future-ready framework. This enables Brownsville, a border city in Southeast Texas with a population of more than 190,000, and potentially other municipalities across the United States and beyond, to respond faster to incidents, safeguard residents more effectively, and lay the groundwork for other use cases such as traffic management, fire detection, weather monitoring, and energy optimization. While the technology behind Brownsville's modernization initiative is sophisticated, its mission is to create a city where families, businesses, and visitors feel safe and supported. "For us, this is about our people. SHI's Smart City solution design supports our goal of making Brownsville safer, more connected, and more innovative," said Jorge Cardenas, Chief Information Officer for the City of Brownsville. "This technology will help us see across our city with clarity and make decisions based on real-time insight, not guesswork or legacy data." "We're building an infrastructure that will allow local businesses, hospitals, and professionals to access advanced AI and networking capabilities they need to drive economic development. This is the technology foundation that will support Brownsville and surrounding cities for years to come." To realize Brownsville's vision, AI experts at SHI brought together AI-accelerated technologies from Centific, and Lenovo built with NVIDIA AI. Centific's solution, VerityAI(TM), intelligently interprets visual data by identifying potential incidents, summarizing activities, and providing valuable real-time insights. VerityAI(TM) leverages visual AI agents, which are deployed using NVIDIA Metropolis Blueprint for video search and summarization, and NVIDIA Cosmos Reason, seamlessly understanding large amounts of visual data from strategically placed safety cameras across the city. SHI's Smart City solution is built on an iterative, flexible, modular architecture that is designed to quickly and easily support additional data, use cases, and digital capabilities. The initial implementation at Brownsville integrates on-prem, cloud computing, networking, and cybersecurity into a single cohesive ecosystem, significantly enhancing resource deployment, response, and situational awareness across public spaces and facilities. According to Deloitte, cities using AI-enabled public safety tools could create some of the most meaningful improvements in recent municipal history, including a 30-40% reduction in crime and a 20-35% faster emergency response time. "Brownsville is proving what's possible when a city embraces technology with purpose," said Denise Collison, Senior Vice President of Public Sector at SHI. "By combining NVIDIA's advanced AI models, Centific's VerityAI(TM), and Lenovo's AI-accelerated robust platforms in our Smart City design architecture, we're creating a powerful blueprint for how communities across the country can improve safety, strengthen resilience, and accelerate economic growth. We're proud to partner with Brownsville as they set a new national standard for what a future-ready city can be." The solution empowers the City of Brownsville and its residents with real-time intelligent insights that promote awareness, efficient resource utilization, and enable civil intelligence. SHI's dedicated Public Sector organizations help states, cities, and municipalities leverage multiple pathways and public-sector grants to achieve their Smart City goals.

SHI International Corp., a leading global provider of technology solutions and services, is partnering with New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to offer NJIT's AI Literacy and AI for Educators microcredentials nationwide. The collaboration broadens access to high-quality, applied AI education designed to meet learners where they are regardless of industry, years of experience or educational background. Developed by NJIT's Learning and Development Initiative (LDI), the AI Literacy microcredential is intentionally designed for anyone seeking a foundational understanding of artificial intelligence. It requires no prior technical background and applies across sectors, roles and career stages. The microcredential introduces how AI systems work, where they are used, their limitations and the ethical and human considerations required to use them responsibly and effectively. The AI for Educators microcredential builds on this foundation for K-12 teachers, higher education faculty and instructional leaders, equipping them to thoughtfully integrate AI into teaching, learning design, assessment and classroom practice. Through this partnership, SHI will distribute both microcredentials as part of its workforce transformation and digital enablement offerings. The offerings enable clients to pair technology adoption with accessible, human-centered learning that supports confident and responsible AI use. "AI literacy is now a baseline capability for participation in modern work and society," said Michael Edmondson, associate provost for Continued Learning at NJIT. "Our AI Literacy microcredential was designed for everyone. By partnering with SHI, we can scale a shared understanding of AI that empowers people across industries, experience levels and educational pathways to engage AI with confidence, judgment and responsibility." SHI leaders noted that organizations increasingly recognize the need for inclusive AI education that supports broad workforce readiness, not just specialized technical roles. "Our customers are asking how to prepare their entire workforce for AI," said Rami Douenias, Sr. Director - Solutions Engineering - AI Platforms, SHI International Corp. "NJIT's AI Literacy microcredential provides an accessible on-ramp for anyone to understand AI, while AI for Educators addresses the specific needs of those shaping learning environments. Together, they allow our clients to build a common AI foundation that supports sustainable adoption and responsible innovation." Both microcredentials offer flexible delivery models and digital credentials that signal verified learning. Organizations gain a consistent, scalable framework for AI readiness, while individuals gain the confidence to engage AI tools thoughtfully in their professional and personal contexts. This partnership reflects SHI's and NJIT's shared commitment to ensuring that rapid advances in artificial intelligence are matched by equally strong investments in human understanding, agency and ethical practice.
